    In terms of your first question: I've tried but found the primers to be a bit loose when seating in another case. Second question: Probably not, but give it a go and let us know.

    zimmer liked post by Ben Waimata On thread : Rules for a strong room (NOT for endorsed weapons)??

    You add your own dreamt up serial number. I have a cannon with no serial so it will be my initials and a 1800s year.
