Corn meal bullet - Kurt - 11-22-2016
You guys that use corn meal for fillers here is something you might to think about, especially loading bottle necked cases with corn meal fillers.![[Image: d63458f0-6609-4fb8-befc-6a3b6fd7afb1_zpspmugrwv9.jpg]](http://s704.photobucket.com/user/Kurtalt/media/d63458f0-6609-4fb8-befc-6a3b6fd7afb1_zpspmugrwv9.jpg.html)
I swaged corn meal in a .50 caliber die to show how solid it can get. Now load this in a bottle necked case below the shoulder and with the pressure and the heat from the powder that will bring the oil out of the corn more then a swage die can, that bullet will be s more solid mass getting forced through the neck restriction that just might make a high pressure spike to let things let loose.
That bullet is hard enough that I could load it in a case and shoot it.
might work good for cleaning lead out

Yeh!! I think it's going to be a long winter when I'm starting to do this already

I've spent to many hours with skinned knuckles and busted thumbs fixing equipment that grain simply flows thru. No pressure no heat none of the nonsense that happens when you dabble some on top of a powder charge and torch it off... Like knobs said cornmeal is used for making cornbread,, or corn muffins, but doesn't find it's way into any of my guns..

Same thing, ya know they make cow cake from ground up grain and hay, put it thru the machine with a little steam pressure and that stuff comes out hard as a brick.

Oatmeal, try some oatmeal, the only thing that stuff is good for is cookies, and they ain't real good.
RE: Corn meal bullet - Kurt - 11-22-2016
Nah!! I like Oatmeal cooked or cookies. I wouldn't waste it making bullets

Take some Alfa alfa and some brown sugar and some corn meal grind it in a blender swage it into a bullet and use it for lead removal and sell it on the internet and make a bunch of money
