Phil,

Ask someone who reloads ammunition if they can pull the bullet, dump the
powder, strike the primer and then reassemble.

Here at the American Airpower Heritage Museum in Midland, TX we just
received a box of live 30-40 Krag Ammo.  I'm not afraid of it discharging
or
anything, but I was wondering what any of the other museums out there do as
far as bringing ammo into the collection.  This is fairly rare ammo since
it
was replaced by the .30-06 and we want to keep it.  We just want to be
safe.
Any help is appreciated.
