So at the range was picking up a bunch of spent 45 caliber pistol bullets from the back stop. There had been a good rain and they are great freebee gifts to kids..

Other then the rifling marks many of the rounds looked undistorted..

So if I had a 45 caliber black powder rifle could I reuse those spent bullets as ammo?????
