Repairing a bullet for reloading

I work in a ballistics lab. Id file those bad boys down and send em. You know, for science.

The engineer I work for is pretty rad, we may or may not have been experimenting with mixing powders at one point. And before anyone freaks out don't worry all the equipment I use is quadruple overproofed. You should NEVER mix powders and test it in a rifle.

Coming from a guy that has reloaded all his own rifle ammo for 20+ years, why would you bother. Toss them and use good components. Set your self up for success.

I agree, to a point, I have a few rifles where finding a dozen banged up bullets would really suck, ha ha, I would roll the tip close and giver, but I also would not be concerned with a flier.

I'd clean the tips up and use them as foulers. During load development you will always need a few if you clean your rifle regularly.
