Re: I am probably going about this wrong......

I have never had difficulty shooting old factory ammo, as far as it being unsafe. The only problem I've had is misfires - both with factory and handloads if old enough.

I do not shoot ammo I purchase - you don't know for certain what is is in it.

The pointed ammo appears to not be loaded with a normal 9.2x72 bullet. I would not fire it, without pulling those bullets, then reloading with known components.

Mic the bullets and weight them.

The Euro ammo is more than likely Berdan primed.

I would find boxer primed brass and use that, however many loaders USED to load Berdan primed brass, NP. Proper de-priming tools are needed for reloading them along with the proper sized primers.

Slugging the bore is necessary before loading this round.

Finally if it is berdan primed, any thoughts on pulling the berdan primer, reaming the primer hole, enlarge it in a lathe and then soft soldier a brass plug where it was enlarged then redrilling the flash hole and recess for the primer so it would accept Boxer Large rifle Primers???




I have seen this done with BP ctgs. like the .577-450, however I would not suggest doing this with the 9.3x72.
