plumbshotsam 6 Posted February 23, 2021 I picked up some 38 special ammo for components, most of it looks old. The first few I break down I find this powder inside that looks like tiny Cheerios. Anyone recognize it or know what it is? That's a dime in the pic for contrast. Thanks, Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRIZ 3,365 Posted February 24, 2021 @plumbshotsam I understand your curiosity about what kind of powder it is and agree with @JohnnyB'assessment. However.... DON'T REUSE IT. Identifying powder by appearance alone is risky business. Sprinkle it on the grass. The high nitrogen content makes it great fertilizer. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plumbshotsam 6 Posted February 24, 2021 That's the one guys! Many thanks. I agree, and I'm not that brave. Actually bought the ammo for the cases and primers only. Thanks, again. My grass can use the help!!! dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put it out near the sidewalk, it will keep people from dropping cigarette butts on your lawn. Ok, it will keep them from dropping them a second time. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
