PULLED CAST BULLETS

[captn-tin]

Friend of mine gave me about 85 335g cast bullets that he picked up at a gun show. These were pulled for whatever reason we don't know. There is a little powder of what type I don't know stuck to the lube on these bullets. I'm intending to load them just for plinking. Any reason to worry about the very small amount of powder stuck to the lube? Very few granules stuck to the powder. Thanks.....captn-tin... Now a resident of Oklahoma!

I would just brush off as much as possible but would not worry about a tiny amount. Normal cast boolits are used for much lower velocity loads than plated or jacketed bullets.

I would not worry about powder in the lube groove.
I would wipe off powder on the base of the bullets.

I'm lazy: run the torch across them.

I wouldn't worry about the powder, but you may want to mic them to check the size to make sure they didn't swage down during the loading and pulling process.
