I am pulling 150 rounds from my late unlamented 45 Super phase. thumbdown
I think? the bullets can be saved. I wonder about the powder. It has a few flecks of wax here and there but doesn't look too bad.
I am leaning towards tossing the powder.
Any thoughts from the studio audience?

Thanks

What type of powder is it? I'd be tempted to save the powder and remelt the bullets! Smiler

If it is a ball powder you can probably put it in a large plastic cup and gently shake it and have the wax migrate to the surface where you could scrape it off with a spoon. I'd guess that flake and stick would behave the same.

Alliant Power Pistol. Bullets are 225gr hard cast.

The pulled bullets measured identical to new.

If you're happy with how they look then by all means use them.

Try putting the powder in a cup and agitating it, I think you'll be able to recover that too.
