We assume the military surplus steel cases can't be reloaded, or aren't worth the trouble ? If they are reloadable, we have oodles of them going spare...

Could you reload them if you went to the effort of modifying the primer pocket?

you could if you have ever had a good look at a steel case i noticed that 90 of 100 of the mil surp cases i had were rusting due to either the primer the powder or just age they also wont last half as long as brass , i wouldn't be surprised if the last maybe 3 times before they split

not to mention the time and effort it takes to convert the primer pocket which i think needs to be smaller and removing the anvil ,

Its really not worth the effort. My advice would be to wait and see if the Shed can get some in stock for you.
