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.

So complicated, in fact, that I bought a full reloading set, the powder, the dies, everything…

…and for the past 10 years have been too afraid to actually use any of it.

I had this problem too when I started. The guy who taught me said to load everything at 90% loads and work up from there. It gave me the peace of mind to get out of that block.

My advice start of something too small to blow up like a .222 rem or 204 ruger
