    If you own a Mosin-Nagant, I'd tell you to through a Cast bullet into them and use them for plinkers or hunting with.

    Or resize the neck for 8x56 Mannlicher

    Or just put them up for sale for someone who does such.

    Oh, yeah, I did the same. Pulled the powder and bullets for other calibers and I've got about 400 of the cases in a box on the shelf in the garage.

    I use the cases in my loaner rifles for hunting where I don't need to worry about finding where the brass flies when its ejected into a brushpile or thornbush. I can't guarantee that my kids or friends will remember that I reload my brass when they see a deer or a pig.
    This way I know I won't lose a custom crafted 6.5 Creedmoor or 7.7 Arisaka case in the mud.
