+P PROOF ROUNDS

[SPO1SHADOW]

To keep these from getting back into anyone's gun I took them all apart and threw the brass in the green box. I was just kidding about sending them out. No way I would send one of these to anyone.

Did you weigh the powder by any chance?

That was going to be my next question!  Bullet weight and powder charge.

And powder type?  Did you keep the powder?  Can we see a pic of the powder?

You are lucky.  However, given the unknown provenance, I would not assume these were factory loads.

You know, the thought just crossed my mind - this story reminds me of a scene from Seinfeld

Sounds like disassembly of the remaining rounds was a great move!  Good job.

I don't think many reloaders have stamps small enough to stamp brass.

You know I did. There was 6.2 grains of powder and the bullet was a 123.6 grain FMJ round. I will fish out some powder and see if I can get enough to take a picture of it.

Here is the powder and one of the bullets. The reddish looking mark on the bullet appears to be some kind of sealant, it was coated on the inside of the nickel plated brass also.

I have a buddy who works for Glock, he came to the match one evening and wouldn't shake hands.  He tests a ton of guns, that day he was charged with something asinine of hand firing like 100 proof loads each through a couple guns.  Had to be shot off hand for it to "count".  That's nuts.
