Come on guys.
Take a guess what this was all about.

i thought i was pake, but shooting bullets that you found in the berm takes it to a whole new level.

not too shabby though, eh?
The target was at 25 yards, 5.2 gr HP38

yeah, they did look pretty dirty and with rifling

You were catching them with your teeth?

yep, just as they came out of the dirt last Wednesday. Then I washed them and threw them in the tumbler for a little while and pushed them through a bullet sizer just in case.
Then reloaded them just like any other bullet. I benched the ammo yesterday afternoon. They all hit pretty close to where they were supposed to go.
In fact the group size was not much different than new bullets. I did this years ago with the exact same results.

The moral of the story is that you can get away with a almost anything in the 45 auto. Any reasonably well made bullet can be used and made to work with little effort.
That's why I love the 45 auto.

The other idea I had was that this could make a great plot for a crime drama. We always see the detective say how the bullet in the victim matches the gun of the suspect.
hahahaha what if the killer used a used bullet? In this case the used bullets probably came form a bunch of different guns at different times. Possibly months or years apart.
That would really mess up the brain of a crime lab technician.

and BTW, the only reason I was digging around in the dirt was because last Wednesday there was that fire at Kalani which shut down the roads and snarled traffic.

So I was killing time at the range waiting for the traffic to subside.

The only way that CSI could pin the bullet to the crime is if there were traces of semen on the bullet.
