A while back I tore down some poorly stored ammo. The only thing I was able to salvage was the bullets and I had to tumble them in a home made pill bottle tumbler with white play sand.

I threw a load together with various GI brass with the intention of just burning them up on clay pigeons.

The bullets are 50gr soft point. Don't know what brand.

Today I shot a five shot group with my sons "parts gun". This is a 1in7 twist 20" chrome lined 5.56 PSA upper. (100 yards)

You can cover the group with a nickel. Definitely a "go figure" moment.

You really don't know what you're going to get until you try sometimes.

So you fired bullets with silica particles embedded in the jackets down your bore?

of course not, his SONS gun.

I wouldnt have even tumbled them. use or toss out.

I hope you are joking. It takes a lot more to embed something than a tumble in a 2" diameter plastic bottle.

I rinsed them in dishwashing detergent water then tumbled them after they dried in a regular dry media tumbler.

I shot Tubb's barrel lapping bullets in my  VTR when it was new. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Now you're talking. I have some tubbs bullets loaded up for my 6mm Remington Rem 700.




Im quite excited to get them down range.







I have no idea how. I can't seem to do it anymore.
