Grafs has some pulled .223. What is involved with using pulled? How do I check the shape? Thanks- |

Pulled bullets range all over the map, from no noticeable distortion, to "WTF, why would I buy those!". But there's a buyer for all of them. LEE and one or two other manufacturer's make sizer dies to round them up. If you look in the Reloading forum at threads about surplus bullets you can find sources for the dies. I don't pay much attention to them, because I'm not going to shoot bullets with obvious and egregious jacket damage. Most people just shoot the bullets with minor damage if they aren't ovalized. Run the bullets through a caliper to gage the degree of ovality. |
| Pretty much the same for me. Scratches don't bother me but serious deformations do. I have thought about getting a .224 sizing die, lubing up the bullets and running them through and may still do it just t see what I get bt to date I have loaded thousands of pulled M193 bullets and had very very few problems. |
