Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Spent early afternoon at the Fire Guard #13 gravel pit.
If these are your's they can be claimed as follows.

30-06 live round. Appears to be a 170 gr soft point. Head stamp is "FUU".

Can't remember if that's Frankford Arsenal, or Federal...

Would gladly exchange this equal to shipping- except it's hard these days to find a carrier for the live stuff. Maybe I'll just dispose of it in my usual manner- a 10.5 gr JSB Heavy domed pellet hitting the primer at 25 yds at 825 fps should light her up. :bigrin:

.45 cal jacketed. Cannelure looks factory to my somewhat in-expert eye. There's a star mark on the base that has me thinking corbon. Possibly a bit short stroked on the powder side. Anyone know if a large pistol primer alone is enough to get one of these up the spout?

I was thinking b.p. at first, but the relatively clean base and cannelure have me thinking .45 acp...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

I don't think just a primer would get it too far down the barrel. In revolvers, that scenario often leaves a bullet partially in both cylinder and barrel. SW

i still think BP but im not the big reloader here , it seems most of my low velocity residue goes back on the case because they do not swell to close the chamber , just my 2 cents and no they are not mine

On phone pls excuse auto correct.

Jacketed seems an odd thing to do in BP unless there is a a sabot involved. Pretty strong rifling engraved on this one.
I admit to being out of my element on this though....
