My fantastic mother in law gave me a bunch of shells/cartridges yesterday after finding them in her guest bedroom.
Most of it, was fairly recent stuff. Some wildcat 22's, almost a full box of Remington 12 and 410 shells, a pack of 410 slugs, even a box of 38 spc HP +P and 357 158 gr SP's that I could use for upcoming deer season if I use it.
The wildcat ammo even had a 5 cent Tennessee Tax stamp on the flap that I thought was interesting because it's been a while since I saw that.
But the most interesting thing in the whole box was a single bullet unlike anything I have seen.
I checked it with a caliper and it's .300 diameter (30 caliber) and it's smooth and dull grey bullet and the casing is 3/4 inch long and appears to be nickel plated steel because a magnet does stick to it.
Anyway, here are some pictures of it to see if anyone here may know more about it, when it was made, what it was for, etc.
From the lack of primer, it is without a doubt a rimfire.
And beside a 22 LR for reference
