Help for a newbie

[james]

I want to make some keychains out of cheap steel case 7.62×39. My plan was to buy a bullet puller to get the bullet out and then I can pour the powder out. My main problem is the primer as I do not know how I could get it out. I don’t have a reloading die and have no interest in buying one any time soon, so is there any way I can get the primer out without detonating it? I know they are berdan primers which are supposedly more difficult to get out. Also, how could I get the bullet back in firmly?

Im not sure about the primer but a dude i know just crimped the bullet but you can use some super strong glue according to him.

Go to a local range and pick up some?

The water *should* render the primers inert long enough to get them out. However, I would pop them in a rifle after I pulled the bullet and powder.

Have you considered nickled brass?

Buy projectiles:

Note there are color options for tips, if that is of interest

You could rig something up to press the projectile in, or get a used reloader from Ebay and pay under a 100 to make it easier on yourself

Lee hand press loader:

and a set of 223 dies would set you back unde4 $100.
