Title: Re: Bullet Post by: Chef Geoff on September 11, 2012, 07:36:54 PM It's a bit to small for a .505 or the normal .50 caliber ??? It's probably an aircraft machine gun round from WW II but from which side is another question. 13.75 sounds more like the other side to me :-\
Title: Re: Bullet Post by: Radnor Bandit (Ian) on September 11, 2012, 08:29:38 PM I agree Geoff the calibre is larger than a .50 cal , but thats excluding any impact distortion.
Another possibility after a quick look on Wiki pages may suggest a WW1 German anti tank round . That would be a bit of a heavy souvineer to bring home from the trenches :o :o http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rifle_cartridges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rifle_cartridges) |
