Pull Blk Talon and reload them ?

mikesfarm · August 16, 2009, 02:46 PM

I have some .357 black talons left from 1990ish. I leave them in the gun for conceal carry. I reload and understand primers and powder last a long time if stored properly. These cartridges have been stored well. Is there any reason to doubt them enough to pull the bullets and reload them ?

Is there a place to buy just the bullets (not cartridges) for the Win Ranger SXT (LEO) in .357 ?

Regards
Mike

The ammo should be fine for years to come. There have been better loads since the BT for SD uses, they are a 180gr and a bit on the heavy side for the caliber. Looking at their site, they don't sell them as components.

No need to worry about them, they should be fine for many years to come.
