And now bad case


I have been using ready-made Barnaul 308 caliber cartridges for a long time. They are semi-army-type, with a steel brass, unsuitable for reload, but reliable in self-loading weapons, and cheap.

But recently, the manufacturer offered a new cartridge with a heavy bullet, 10.9 grams (the photo shows that the lead exposure in the head is greater). The guys tried and doubted - the lead was clearly not the same as usual, lighter. In short, here's what was found in a piece of borscht meat. The softer lead simply tore the shell of the bullet.
Most likely, there is no antimony in the composition, so lead is softer (and cheaper), and it also does not connect to the shell.
It is unlikely that anyone here will encounter such cartridges, but they exist. I will write to the factory.

The photo of the moose has not been saved, there is only a photo of borscht. By the way, it is prepared like this: moose meat is boiled for 2-3 hours, then remove the meat (preferably brisket) and disassemble it into edible pieces.
Toasted chopped onions and toasted carrots and beets grated on a coarse grater, with the addition of tomato paste, are successively poured into the broth. Then sliced potatoes, then sliced cabbage, you can also have sliced bell peppers and eggplant. When the potatoes are ready, the borscht is ready, add meat. A spoonful of sour cream, bread and 100 grams are added to the plate.
