Ammo picture thread

I shot these a bunch when I was a young adult, always loved the graphics.

Changed a bit since then…

I'm a bit of a fruit pie, sometimes. Back Home, Years Ago, I was not only a budding handloader, but a novice photographer as well. It was inevitable they would mix. I also like patterns, geometric design, architecture, and things like that, and back then I was experimenting with different light, texture, and other photographic techniques...

Rooting through these photos, I realize I'm missing a bunch of them... hopefully, they didn't get disappeared. :(


I'll see @shoebox1.1 's speedloader, and raise him .053"...

Who doesn't love a box full of loaded AR magazines...

Speaking of Montana Bullet Works...

I was unloading an order from MBW, and it struck me as quite funny... so I took this picture.

To the right are some great 405grn RN/GC .45-70 bullets... all nestled down in their little First Class seats up front. They will get to where they are going in their own sweet time, and they don't mind spending the money on a good seat.

Then you have the Business Class seats, with those 'get busy!' .348WCF FN/GC bullets. They have places to go, people to see, things to do.

Then you have the Great Unwashed... .308 FN/GC bullets... back in Coach, all wedged in, setting in those uncomfortable seats, with crying babies, the guy that hasn't had a shower in 3 days, and the person who just had to bring fried chicken with them, to eat in their seat.

Dennis that box o mags looks like what Clint smith carries in trunk! His wife too!
 
It's all good in the SAA until you hit one with a high primer ... then the fun comes to an abrupt end as the cylinder locks up. This is a failure to run my finger over the primers in the box after loading. The offending round is standing in front. An LBT 280 WFN-GC. There's two more high primer still in the box ... can you see them? I had swapped from small to large and didn't remember to recalibrate the depth setting before I loaded a few. Once I did, they were fine but I forgot to reseat the ones I had already dropped in the box on the ram prime.

These are “Streak” 9mm projectiles, blems or pulled, I cannot remember. They are supposed to be similar to trace rounds if one can fire them (safely) in a dark setting. I flashed a light on them just before snapping this photo. The base of the bullets are photo-luminescent.

And since some will ask, I have not seem them “trace” yet because I don’t have anywhere to shoot after sundown, when it would be dark enough. I tried literally a minute before sundown but did not see anything worth writing home about. And that’s okay; I got them for an excellent price, and was not necessarily expecting to be able to see them since my range “closes” at sundown. Some other time or day! I have plenty of them!
