What kind of round is this?

[Nyati13]

It appears to be a .30 Carbine case, with a 7.62x51 bullet shoved into it. So not a real round, but an amalgam of two different rounds.

That's what I thought too. Looks like a 30 carbine with a bastard bullet.

based on the fact that it's not a bottleneck, has a slight taper, and the caliber appears to be 7.62mm/.30cal, my guess would be .30 carbine. but i've never seen a fmj with such a sharp tip.

yeah, the straight neck, sharp bullet, and length... the combination is completely throwing me off.

it could be fake. would make sense that i can't find it.


thanks for your help guys!

 

[pontifex]

it's not 7.62, 5.56, 5.45, 5.7

It has to be some odd sized ammo

sorry, im not up to speed on the terminology, is the base where the firing pin hits? if so, yes there is some wording there

if that, it says C L 1 7

in a circle at 12 o'clock, 3, 6, 9

Sure it's not L C 7 1?

Then it's a Lake City .30cal Carbine round manufactured in 1971. Someone stuck some other projectile in the end of it. So some sort of "fake" round.

Look like

this?

In the future, when you want help, it helps to be accurate.

No, that's the firing pin indentation. The primer has already been fired (the smaller circle in the middle. Guess somebody just shoved a bullet into the empty, already fired case/cartridge.
