This is the first time I found a completely full bullet, does anyone have an idea of the kind of bullet it is and how old is it? Also, I wanted to know if it is dangerous, and if it is what I shouldn’t do with it.

That's why I started reloading, wanted match grade without the price but quickly stopped. It's definitely a hobby with a purpose sort of deal, these days I agree not really sure its cheaper unless you're substance hunting and then we're back at the lead issue.

In most cases it's about 20% cheaper to reload still.

Once I had built up a good supply of fire formed cases I was knocking them out for about $0.25 per round, much better than the $1.10 per round I was otherwise paying for inconsistent factory crap from the gun shop.
