Put'em up in the EE, and find out.
I'm sure there's plenty who'd be interested.

For those of you interested in minor detail, back in the day when 6.5x55 brass was rare as hens teeth. Dominion had quit making it and all that was available, after a 2-6 month wait, was Norma, at about 4-5x the regular price.
Some of us used to pick up the fired blanks, left over after the militia and whomever they were playing with, would go through an area. We got very lucky (LOL) and found several hundred of them, in a forgotten case, beside the road.
These were just what the doctor ordered. We fired those cases in our Swede M96 and M38 rifles with a cotton swab ball, pushed into the bore. They fire formed beautifully. Yes, I know the base of the 6.5x55 is a few thou larger, The rifles and the brass, after trimming of course, didn't know the difference. Even after several reloadings.
Of course, this isn't necessary anymore, with the ready availability of brass and commercially loaded ammunition but it was a god send 35 years ago.
