I would also recommend just pulling the bullets, saving the powder and using them as reloading components. Yes, it takes time (Istart by running the Mislurp through a seating die, set about 1/16" - 1/8" deeper to break the bullet loose. Then I either use a Kinetic puller or my Hornady collet puller.

I've done this with several thousand rounds of 8 X 57 and it's perfect for an off-shooting season afternoon.
