Loading some special 30.06 ammo.
I have a bunch of the 30 cal 162 grain black tip AP bullets I'm loading up up for my son's Savage 111 bolt 30.06 bolt action action rifle.
picked these up around 25 years back when they where dirt cheap, around 5 cents a bullet. Winchester nickel plated cases, AA2700 powder and Remington 9 1/2 primers. I loaded a few up just to try out, no signs of excessive pressure and accuracy is good. He calls them his ( Zombie Apocalypse ) ammo. |

Nice! Black tips are harder and harder to find.
Been trying to talk my cousin out of his stash. He won't ever reload them into anything, but he doesn't want to let them go, either.

I don't know what the core is made from but it's damn hard stuff, I tried cutting one with a hacksaw and got nowhere.

I've got some black tip AP 50 cal bullets. No 50 cal though, but perhaps some day.

CDVS has .30 API's. They are on the pricey side.

Black tip on 30 cal bullets is indicative of armor piercing bulets. Some places they are illegal.

I saw some for sale the other day - bullets only - and they were asking $10/ea for them. I'll just work on shot placement.
