Corn Cob media stuck inside casing
Quote from Reloader on July 29, 2018, 11:44 pmI may have inadvertently loaded some .45 ACP that might have had flakes of corn cob media stuck to the inside wall of the casing. I was confident that all the casings were clean and clear but when I was doing a powder load check on the scale, I notices these white flakes and I knew exactly what I had happened. Will these flakes cause any problem with the load and firing of the powder or the performance of the rounds?
Using a 230 gr FMJ round with Bullseye Pistol powder about 5.4gr of powder.

BTW, this is the Mr. Bullet feeder section, this should have been posted to the handgun section.
