Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Pulled factory bullets.

I doubt you'll ever notice the difference. You probably won't believe it but, I was a witness to it.
I have a friend who use to buy surplus from the government and he bought several barrels of p/d 5.56 bullets. These had been demilled by running them through teethed rollers and they looked horrible. He ran them through a 5.56 carbide bullet die to round them back out....just to see. Then loaded 25 rounds and went to the range....just to see. I told him he was wasting powder and primers and I'd never shoot them in a gun I liked. Well, it turned out the smallest 5 shot group was an inch while the largest was a little over 2". Impressed me!
