Pulled proj's

[Robocop1051]

.30 cal M1 carbine lead in particular. Can this be used to reload? Specifically for the 300Blk. Quite often I run into nasty, old, corroded boxes of Vietnam era .30 carbine. I'm just wondering if it's worth pulling the lead for reloading. Would that round nosed stuff even work in a AR?

I was just wondering, because .30 carbine proj's would be a cheap source for supersonic plinking ammo.

Rob, The roundnose lead will work...But,running lead in a gas operated gun may not be wise.

If you have a bolt action then do it !

Most , if not all ,30 M1 carbine ammo has been loaded with a copper jacketed bullet. Lead , might be commercial ammo . Not sure how it would feed , you need to try it & let us know how it works out .

I was being generic when I said "lead". I actually was talking about the round nose, jacketed ammo.

 

I even have some tracers left over from the Vietnam era.

the only issue i'd see is that you'll have to play around a bit more on finding the sweet spot for them powder + potentially bullet depth wise. Other than that, it shouldn't make a bit of difference.
