Very doable & the primers should be able to be reloaded if you aren't too heavy handed, softly softly catchee primer as it were. I loaded for a Hornet for a few years, gave it away as too much hassle but by neck annealing before firing them & then no more than neck sizing while reloading, you have a better chance of getting some case life from them.
