    Picked before maturity.

    Most exciting I have found is some rat shit.

    Clearly in the interests of avoiding waste you'd better buy a new slow-twist 223 or perhaps .22-250 just to fire that projectile... and then of course seeing as you already have the rifle, better buy a few more projectiles to finish the group. Logic, see?

    Looks like it might be time you sat down with your amax's and told them the story about the birds and the bees. Have found an sst in a box of interlocks before and the other day i found a three subsonics in a packet of winchester supersonic 22 ammunition

    Hahaha. Imagine if you had loaded it accidentally! The consequences could have been severe!

    I recently bought a 5,000 projectile bulk box of .224 55gr Hornady projectiles and found 5 or 6 9mm handgun projectiles mixed in. Funniest bit was asking my 13yo son to "take the box out of the back of the ute and put it in the shed" ........ he thought it was bolted to the floor when he went to pick it up. It weighed 40kg!
