Pulled Bullets

Okay, I have several hundred .45 ACP bullets of various types and weights that I "rescued". (Read screwed up the load, then pulled.)

Will these be anywhere near as accurate as new bullets?

Most of them are Berry's plated, and I can see a line where they were crimped.

J-6,

They'll be fine for double-tap practice. Load 'em up and have fun.

But ..... no, they won't perform as new ones but not too far off, either.

The tip & sides of the bullets are O.K. - when the bases are nicked & screwed up is when the accuracy will really suffer.


Cheers,

Number 10

Well, thanks!

I'll load them back up, then.

You just never know until you try them, sometimes yes and sometimes no...
