Bullet Dissection

[Garufa]

So I was out in the garage playing with some bullets and found a round that had a questionable scratch/deformity near the rim. I thought what better time try try out my fancy new RCBS Pow'r Pull Impact Bullet Puller. Plus the boredom was driving me nuts.

Stuck the thing in there and after a couple of good whacks on the floor, apart came the round.

If anyone was ever curious to know what the innards of a Turkish 8mm round made in 1945 look like here you are:

FYI, the bullet weighs in at 155 grs. and powder at 48.3 grs.

Did you properly dispose of the powder...with a match :-)
