.45 ACP question

[Chuckman]

I have this box of RAM arms remanufactured ammo. The bullets appear to be a little "flaky." Is this sus, or okay to shoot?

That's either dried out lube or oxidized lead. They look good to go for chooting, but wash your hands.

Yep. I had some ancient 38 spl loads in a brown paper bag that looked worse than that. Some went bang. Some did not. Wouldnt choot those in a real spendy gun. I dont shoot remans as a rule anyway. Factory fresh or my reloads only.

I choot mine that look like that...

 

[Chuckman]

Thanks. I have some aggression to release at the range this afternoon. As for the lead...what's it going to do, give me cancer? (said with wry sarcasm dripping in irony...)

 

[Amp Mangum]

Lead oxide. Good to go.

That stuff gets in the grooves of your barrel. Shoot enough and you have a smoothbore

 

[Toby_H]

I donno man. I'd definitely avoid getting shot with something like that.

But being on the other end I wouldn't worry. Though...

....but wash your hands.

 

[Walkabout Dan]

Shoot

Ive bought several old 22 rifles over the years that had all the rifling filled with lead. Smoothbore is right. Takes alot of scrubbing and cleaning when they've went that long without cleaning.
