I've loaded and shot Black Powder for years.
Never needed to break down BP ammo before. Just loaded what I needed for the next shoot, and shot up leftovers within a month.
Haven't shot BP Cartridge in at least 15yrs.
And just found 3rds of .44-40 loaded with Maybe Black Powder ?
Marked as I & a lot of Cowboy Shooters did,
By coloring the headstamp black with a marker.
But the brass is starline Nickel-Plated loaded with Win Primer and a bullet I don't recognize. Never had ANY nickel plated .44-40 brass. No idea where it came from or how long I've had it.
Can I break down this maybe Black Powder ammo with an impact hammer type bullet puller ????
Is it safe ???
