You could always pull 'em apart and dump the powder. Reload 'em with somthing You know what it is..

I just don't have any equipment.

I see as to how that might be a problem..

Shoot them. Dont expect stellar benchrest/rail gun accuracy though.

Many of my guns have never had a single round of factory ammo fired in them, and I still have all my fingers and toes.

Years ago when they were $129 per K I bought some Maine 55gr FMJ reloads from the ammunition store. They were a little underpowered clocking in @ 2850-2900 but were very accurate. I did pull one down and it had 23gr of what could have been WC844 or something similar to it or H335.

Looking back I should have bought much more. I did have a friend that bought some reloads from "Dads" a few months ago. 1/2 the rounds would not chamber in his ruger mini. there was no problem in returning them but he was not happy.

commercial reloads or joe-blow reloads?

there was one or two commercial places that had a few lots with KB's.


I trust my own handloads. all done with a single stage press, and I've done a couple thousand..


it's a tough judgement call.

do you have a scale? if they all weight the same, it would decrease your risk

joe-blow reloads?

This.
I'll just count up what I have and put it in the 'Trading Post' as components only, not ready to plink with.

Thanks guys,

I will shoot them why not first off .223 has much less chamber pressure than 5.56.

I go way past max load for .223 when loading for a 5.56 chamber.
