Identifying bullets and cartridge cases

[rmcnelly]

Larger than a .45ACP, case diameter is .485. Had what looked like 3 crimp rings on it. Found in the woods in south east Virginia. Rim diameter was .535, so it is the base of a .410 shotgun shell.

Thanks....I didn't realize that some blanks didn't have the rose crimp at the end

It could be a .308 blank as well, they're very similar.

I am trying to identify the shorter bullet. The longer one comes from the sig sauer v-crown 365 everyday carry ammunition. The center is silver on that bullet whereas the other one is the gold color one. Both are made by sig but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the other one is, can anyone help? Thank you in advance

I was checking a playground close to my house and found this buried a couple inches down under the wood chips. It appears to be a 50 caliber round based on dimensions. There was wood in the front which I removed with a toothpick. The inside is white, so I assume lead. I don't see any marks from rifling on the sides, but the front is slightly deformed, making me believe that it may have been fired. Without any obvious rifling marks, I'm wondering if it may have been used in a smooth bore, or if it's a sabot?

I think I may have just found the bullet from my last post. This looks an awful lot like the one I found, and would explain the lack of rifling. May not be the exact one, but the same type.

50 cal sabot
