Really its a pic of old cutaways with some loading machine malfunctions.
Early Experimental tin/ bismuth core, copper core, Solid Steel core (Looking for info), and several malfunctions. Enjoy.

Stuff like this comes by my way only once, and you always wished you had grabbed more.
Should have seen the pile of them, these were some of the better ones.
Given in trade for other section work.

Man, those solid steel cores are lengthy. Makes you wonder how much / what kind of powder could get those to a reasonable velocity and still fit in a mag.

It's crazy that the powder stayed in and didn't ignite when you cut them

Pretty sure he pulls them down then sections and glues the powder and projectile in place.
