Lone Ranger bullets Question

[Pureblood]

I have a load of these silver bullets , but I'm a bit leery about using them I have had them for years. I think they are Danish as they came with a load of Berdan primed Danish cases but I'm not sure.

I have a very nice 125 year old Obendorf Mauser that will shoot them but I don't want to damage the rifling, it's a brand new barrel.

Are they OK to use ?

Sure go ahead and use them, Silver Bullets are good for Vampires.

Absolutely, but because of their origin, you put the round side of the bullet in the case first, better expansion on werewolves

I think the safe bet would be not to shoot them. No telling what type of primers etc in those rounds. If the cases are good then I would pull them and save the brass. Not worth taking a chance with your new barrel. JMO

The primers are non corrosive. It's not worth saving the brass as they have two flash holes and can't be reloaded. I have 2000 of them. I also have a load of 140 grain copper jacketed soft points. I think I will just stick with them. I worked up a good load with Bulgarian 7.62 X 54 powder.

That's a beautiful rifle. I wouldn't take any chance of harming it.

Silver = $22.65/oz today.

Hi, I'm William Devane, there's a storm coming, it's called inflation. That's why I buy gold and silver from Rosland Capital.

Don't shoot them, those are inflation proof.

Looks like Nickel plating, nice rig there. Like all the stuff the Boys had to pick from in WWII. Remember , those silver paint tipD 30-06 Garand rds were incendiary types stuff. They had dozens to choose from , not just standard Ball ammo.

Beautiful Rifle!!!!!!!!!!!
Silver is softer than Copper
You need to test if they are real Silver and not just look like silver because of a coating.

But those bullets may be worth some money.

First thing first....pull that Bushnell tent stake pounder scope off and put a Spina on it. Otherwise you're just wasting components.

You can't use 7.62x54 powder in a 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser case! It is 7.62 powder!
