I've had this box of rusty Wolf 7.62x39 for a while now. It's roughly 700 rounds. Someone offered to give it to me for free and I took it thinking I could salvage the projectiles and maybe the powder. I don't see any reason not to salvage the projectiles, they are in good enough condition.
I was thinking about salvaging the powder as well for some 7.62x39 reloads. My thought process was I could disassemble them and weigh the powder individually on a sampling of 10 them and just use the average weight as my starting load. Any thoughts on that?
The cartridges are sealed and is expect the powder is in good condition as this corrosion looks mostly just like surface corrosion. I might take a few of the worst ones and inspect the powder, inside of the cartridge for contamination and then light the powder to make sure everything looks good. If those are ok if expect the rest to be fine. What are your thoughts on that?
Thank you!
