Or, in the case of five of the .303" rounds we found among my father's effects, they pull the bullets and dump the powder out of live rounds then put the bullets back in, leaving the un-struck primer in place. Had us a little concerned until one of the bullets flopped out (no crimp, obvs.) revealing an empty case. The stripper clip was there too, so the whole lot must have fallen out of somebody's pocket. Quite the trophy for a young lad whose friends were making do with whatever spent brass fell from the dogfights overhead.
