So, I was lead scrounging the range last night with my son. We scarfed up about 32# of bullets in a half hour.
In cleaning the dirt off today, I picked out some interesting examples of bullets.
269882
Several were powder coated or painted. There are some in my reloading circle who constantly harp about how I'd going to lead up barrels shooting boolits... SMDH... The powder coated bullets here show how the powder coating stayed in place while conforming to the rifling and as well as on the base where burning powder contacted the boolit. Proof positive IMHO.
On the right, a little out of focus is a copper bullet of some sort. You can't tell from the picture, but it has rifling marks on its circumference.
Then there is a real oddball. Well at least for me. It is an opaque glass ball in the middle of a slug. I've never seen such a thing before.
It was really neat digging through the bullets and even occasionally finding ones that could be loaded and sent down range again.
