Picked before maturity.
Most exciting I have found is some rat shit.
Clearly in the interests of avoiding waste you'd better buy a new slow-twist 223 or perhaps .22-250 just to fire that projectile... and then of course seeing as you already have the rifle, better buy a few more projectiles to finish the group. Logic, see? :thumbsup:
Looks like it might be time you sat down with your amax's and told them the story about the birds and the bees. Have found an sst in a box of interlocks before and the other day i found a three subsonics in a packet of winchester supersonic 22 ammunition
"Mini Me".......:D fuck you must be bloody observant to have picked that up

Many years ago I found a 500 gr 45 cal in a box of 139 gr Hornady Interlocks.
.224 35gr Vmax - devastating out of the hornet :thumbsup:
Just need a nice 22 Hornet now
Hahaha. Imagine if you had loaded it accidentally! The consequences could have been severe!

I recently bought a 5,000 projectile bulk box of .224 55gr Hornady projectiles and found 5 or 6 9mm handgun projectiles mixed in. Funniest bit was asking my 13yo son to "take the box out of the back of the ute and put it in the shed" ........ he thought it was bolted to the floor when he went to pick it up. It weighed 40kg!
Just use it with a sabot
But the real question here is did you get an extra free bullet or get ripped off by half a bullet?
Yip that's what I thought to, definatley looks like one.Quote:

This undermines my confidence that every single bullet in a box will be the same weight and calibre, let alone the same batch.
It makes me feel inclined to run a micrometer and scales over each projectile before loading.
Talking about unexpected items, I once found a fly withot wings in my can of AR 2208.
After a thoughtful root cause analysis I concluded it probably flew too close to the desk lamp I have by the reloading bench, got fried and fell into the hopper on my chargemaster.
Now I always put the lid on and although I use the lamp to visually check theres powder in each case I keep it away from straight above them and cover cases wih a cloth until Im just about to fill them.
That's the OCD in us reloaders.Quote:
