    What to do with Burden Primed Brass?

    Howdy, I got around 300 rounds of 308 Burden Primed brass ... I am considering melting it down into a block of brass, but do you guys any better suggestions?

      Berdan.

      Sell them or sell them as scrap.

          Burden primed brass is a real burden to reload...

                    Are you sure it is brass? Did you stick a magnet to it? I found some brass that was actually steel with a copper or brass finish. I was really surprised when it stuck to a magnet.

                        However, for .308 it is not worth the hassle of depriming them. I would recycle them.

                        You could try depriming a few to see how much work it is before you bring them to the scrap yard.
