Not sure if this is the correct section, but the ammunition is for an Austrian Werndl rifle.
I have some date stamped 1887 ammunition, that is cast, paper patched. Can anyone advise if they contain mercury in the primer. I pulled the bullet on one of them, found a hard lump of something over the powder, not sure what it is, but it is hard.
I have heard that firing a cartridge with mercury primers makes the brass worthless for reloading.
thank you,
