Pulling these bullets...or maybe I should say I was going to.

Throw them in with my casting lead and then pull the jackets. These are a bit hotter than I want to try in my GP100!

. . . with some .357 Maximum rounds I acquired in a "package" buy. The reload info I got with them scared me to death, so I decided to pull the bullets and start over. The first three I tried to pull with the intertia (hammer) type puller resulted in the same thing you show, and I was afraid I'd break the puller. Fortunately, there were only a dozen or so that were questionable, so I just cut the cases off behind the bullets, dumped the powder, and scrapped the rest. Hated to lose the brass and bullets, but . . .

Very strange. I'd never have believed it if I hasn't seen it myself.

To use as an easy-out and if that doesn't work I'll try a self tapping screw through the bases. Probably more work than its worth but I just HATE loosing to an inanimate object! :)

That trick works well for bullets with sealant. Never tried it otherwise.

Didn't work. I have 27 cores now. I have an 8mm bolt threaded into one of the cores. I think its gonna work but I'll have to wait till work is done. Power came back on at the shop and interrupted my project:)

I'd just shoot out the jackets! Accuracy probably won't be so hot but the velocities ought to be impressive!!!

Of course, I'm kidding... Kind of...

But decided it might not be best. 17.5 grains of Lil'Gun...From what John K said about heavy loads of L'G and light bullets toasting a forcing cone, it might not be healthy for the gun. Reminded me of Jim Taylor shooting those ACP cases out of my his/my old .475 Linebaugh:)

Or a full sized Blackhawk, but I'd rather have a pre- lock 27 any day.

Wow, I would cut the cases to dump the powder, kill the primers and scrap it all. Not worth trying to salvage IMHO.

See video above. Got it down to a science now, supper's done, dishes washed and diving back into it:)
