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.

Quote:

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.
