Are these safe to shoot? Scratched them up fucking around with

Soak the whole cartridge in WD-40 OVERNIGHT that should help it

Looks superficial at worst, go for it.

>>33272156
Yes. Park this one in your skull

>>33272156
Just how fragile do you think ammunition is?

>>33272156
you just get that nugget OP??

>>33272156
You could shoot almost anything out of a nugget

This, you should really soak all surplus ammo in WD-40. WD-40 has special solvents for older ammunition which cleans them and restructures the crystalline structure of the power and primer to be more like when they were new.

In old ammunition, especially in poor storage conditions like in Russia and other nations, the crystal structure of the powder can be hydrolyzed and rendered inert. This causes side reactions like rusting of the interior of the case and reduces the burn efficiency of the powder. By soaking in WD-40, you dehydrolyze the powder and form a protective coating on the inside of the case. This also makes the ammo cleaner and improves accuracy.

WD-40 was invented by the Germans during WWI, as they found the muddy and dirty trenches to render their ammunition dirty and prone to misfires and hangfires. WD is just an anagram for "Wehrmacht Direktiv", or "military order" and 40 indicates that it was the 40th declaration the military made at that point in its history. They invented this solution to both clean produced ammo and to store ammo when in the trenches. It's truly miraculous stuff and is so popular you can find it almost anywhere.

Nice

>>33273890

In all seriousness, would this cause the cause to braze to the inside of the chamber? That would be pretty lulzy.

You're good to go. It's a freaking surplus steel case, I don't see how that could rupture in any way.

>>33272156
no, the whole batch might be ruined. send it to me for proper disposal

>>33272156
I dunno OP, those scratches look a little deep, case rupture is likely at those pressures in an enclosed space. Sad to say I think you're going to have to toss those.

>>33272156
Just give me all your ammo, I specialize in fixing these problems. I'll make sure to inspect, and repair each one by hand if I see any signs of case rupturing.

Thanks for tellin me, Mattv2099

Your fine. I'd only really be worried if the lining of the casing had holes or cracks in it. That would let the pressure leave from areas it shouldn't. Scratches ain't shit though.

>>33272156
Baby' first gun? Its fine man. I've done the same thing, much worse, with brass cases. It's perfectly fine.

>>33272195
To be fair, a buddy and myself were trying to remove a projectile from a brass case that got bent to shit at the range and a guy asked us not to do that because he said it could explode. Do not be surprised how retarded people can be.

Also, nice b8 OP I r8 8/8.

>>33274049
No. Cases dont melt. Also, the coatings are more of a preservative than anything else.

>>33278536
And yes, its also an extraction aid.

>>33272156
haha

puny capitalist think he can damage boolet of mosin

you good joker

>>33272156

I fired cartridges that were in worse condition - including bullets pushed deeper into case or cartridges with bent cases. Those tiny scratches are nothing.
