Sporting round, soft point. Headstamped PPU in Cyrillic, looks like NNY if you were to use Latin characters.

I also found two rounds of .44 Magnum in similar condition, HP. The exposed lead at the tip was a little marred, but I did polish the lead a bit heavier, and cleaned it up to be mostly uniform.

Any way. Disgusting covered in grime, dark and nasty. Probably unsafe ot fire in that condition just due to dimensions.

So, I grabbed some 00 steel wool and lightly polished the whole thing, getting the grime off. I really didn't take off hardly any metal, just very very light polishing marks on the case. More grime removal than metal polishing. Though, a very small amount of metal could make a huge difference when it comes to firearms.

My question is, would the round be safe to fire, or does it now go on the shelf to look pretty? ]]> Ammunition Reports Whootsinator http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/ammunition-reports/89778-ammunition-polishing-cleaning.html Dose this ammo use Lead? http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/ammunition-reports/89333-dose-ammo-use-lead.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:31:14 GMT Federal Premium - Shotshell Details (http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/shotshell.aspx?id=159) I cant shoot anything other then lead shot from the shotgun i have. im pretty sure it is lead but it dose not say on the box and the website is not really clear on it. now the pic of the...

Has anyone tried any of this? With handgun ammo hard to find in my area I am tempted, just wondered if anybody has ordered from this place as their prices seem pretty hard to beat.

with deer season right around the corner for rifles here in Wv. i have a sort of noob question for you today. I am shooting the 100gr hornady btsp this season in my 243 win. chambered CZ 550 American with nikon 4.5X14 scope (not the bdc). It is driving tacks at 100yds an inch high. my question is how high will i be shooting at 50 or 75 yds? is there a easy to use calculator? i found some online but they are pretty detailed with terms that seem Greek to me. lol

thanx in advance
