[QUOTE="jbs2014, post: 1847500, member: 94052"] I am not sure if I mentioned this on another thread. But I think I may have barely avoided a more dangerous encounter with this phenomenon. I had some really old .408 rounds that I had acquired when I first got into the caliber some nine years ago or so. I was reorganizing my reloading room and found them, amongst other things. I shook one back and forth and discovered what I am pretty sure was a really undercharged projection. So I decided to pull them and dispose of all of the components. I have one of the large bullet pullers from CH4D that I attach to my .50 BMG press. I nearly broke the handle off of the press trying to pull those four bullets. They hardly budged an inch. I ended up turning them into the bad round box at our range here. Here is my question to all of you, had the rounds been fired would it have destroyed the rifle? I am interested in this cold weld business and its effect as well, I am interested in making about 2000 5.56 rounds ( and others) to store for later. Does the HBN really prevent this? Can HBN work in a semi auto? Thank you all for your time [/QUOTE]
