OK. After much tap-tap-tapping (in my garage, NOT an airport restroom:D) I have disassembled 300 rds of my recently purchased dubious .357 Magnum handloads with my inertial bullet puller AKA hollow hammer.

I have 300 pieces of brass, a bag of powder, and a whole bunch of what seem like good quality 110 & 125grn SJHP cannelured bullets.

The jacket completely covers the base of the bullet and they appear to be undistorted and undamaged.

Would these bullets be safe to load up again?

if they aren't distorted, I don't see why not :confused:

I would use them, but I have loaded 110 grain 9mm bullets in 357 brass (I even killed a deer with one of them.) Pulled bullets are fine, if they are round I would try them. To be honest they were never "used" to begin with, they just weren't NIB.:flipoff2:

Get new primers though :eek:

I've shot plenty of pulled bullets and the gun doesn't notice

Get new primers though :eek:

I would also ditch the bagged powder.:laughing:

It makes for good fertilizer....


or pipe bombs... whichever... :flipoff2:

Thanks for the replies. :beer:

Done. I tell ya. I'm glad I wasn't tempted to run this stuff through any of my guns. The rounds were in 6 x 50rd Case Guard boxes & each box was a mixed bag of bullet weights & powder charges/types. :shaking:

hehe.... trying to decide what to do with it...:smokin:

Put it in your pocket, and get on a plane. Trust me, it'll work fine...

Get yourself a galvanized pipe, say 6" long, with a couple of end caps.








































That, together with all my other posts in the last few days, ought to get me a visit from the feebs. :D
