I'll quit asking someday, really.

OK, so I managed to yank the bullets out of my uncharged cases. In a bullet-pulling frenzy, I thought of the old milsurp .303 in the ammo cabinet... the stuff that only goes bang after 3 or 4 hits.

I grabbed the boxes, and set to work. This is what came out of the case after the bullet:
