I dont know unless I ask?

It can but the whole process takes much more effort. The cases are berdan primed, so you need a special tool to deprime each case by hand. Then you need to find some berdan primers. For the price of surplus ammo, it doesn't worth it. Plus, I can see the die scraping the rust proof coating, only to end up with contaminated dies and rusted cases.

Ok...makes sense...thanks
 
"...steal(SIC) jackets..." Steel jacketed bullets can be used for reloading. Most ranges won't let you shoot 'em though. Steel cases cannot. Steel is not elastic like brass is. Doesn't resize properly.
"...cases are berdan primed..." Usually. Not worth the effort, even if you could find the right diameter berdan primer. They don't come in large and small rifle.
 
Not to mention that steel on steel will cause your dies to wear out faster. So basically yes it "can", but is generally not worth the effort at this time.

I'm sure there's people out there that have kept a couple hundred cases kicking around "just in case" however.
