In my tire of the dump truck I drive at work. Primer end out and worn down. Thought it was a bolt and grabbed on with a side cutter and pulled it out. At least it was a dud so far.

are ya gonna try to pull the bullet and save it and the brass ;)

I don't know if the tire is totaled or not, but I bet it could have been if things lined up just right ... or just wrong.
