i have bought bullets advertised as seconds. I believe you picked up some thirds.

They must have got excited when they saw some primers.

 

[Local Loader]

Looks like some old school psp or discarded mil bullets.

 

[66PonyCar]

Maybe they were in a fire?

 

[stick655]

Appears as if they've all blown someone's lungs out.

 

[kenboy]

Perhaps they identify as females and it was cold out…….

Maybe they were in a fire?

That is the best answer I can thank think up.

 

[Local Loader]

They are cast mold form rounds, that's why they have those points and some deformation. It's just excess from the lead casting for the bullet tips that was never trimmed off.

 

[Knobgoblin]

Did they have any baby clothes?

Or readers digest back issues?

 

[Xrperry]

No baby clothes Or readers digest but I did pick up a full brick of CCI SV 22 (20.00)

 

[Certaindeaf]

Unfinished home-swaged bullets.

 

[osprey]

Not sure what they are but it looks like a trim back to make protected soft points may be in order.

This right here….

Those "nipples" are casting sprues, and a couple look like the lead seeped through the seams of the mold pattern. Just put 'em in a drill chuck and use a fine file to gently turn them down to where you want them.

 

[Ben B.]

Ah, so the tips are lead and not plastic?

 

[gmerkt]

Unfinished bullets, probably sold as factory seconds. I used to buy things like this from Sierra back when they were priced right. They appear to have sat around for a long time. Once you get the tips cleaned up, you might also clean off the oxidation from the jacket material. By tumbling or using mild phosphoric acid or poss. even kitchen detergent. I don't like to fire gritty bullets down gun barrels.

Lead tips.

 

[JohnnyMac]

Looks to me like they just were happy to see you.
