Re: Possible to sand off commemorative designs?
Sanding will remove the plating and you will end up with bare metal.
If you like the gold color, better to buy a standard model and have it plated.

I have plenty of .300 savage factory ammo and brass but, I turn any range pick up 30/06 brass into 7.65x53 Mauser.
I once outsmarted myself by resizing 7mm Mauser brass, failing to take into account body taper, I ended up with mostly shoulder splits.
