[Hugh G. Rection]

hi all

today in the garage ( mechanican )

i have repair a tyre that was leaking i thought first that a screw or nail in the tyre.

when i pul that thing out of the tyre thought i wtf is this

here a picture

who can tel me wath type of bullet this is and for which gun ? or weapon

do you have a set of calipers to measure the diameter? it looks like a bullet to me. someone could have dropped a round out of their vehicle, and someone could have run over it. that slow of penetration would not have caused any expansion, and would explain why the rear of it is beat up.

even if you just have a tape measure to lay it on top of, i could tell you alot about it.

btw - in relation to the size of the decals on your laptop, im willing to bet this is from either a 7mm mag, a 300 ultramag, or a 300wsm. its a little long to be from a .308.

here a picture of how long the bullet is.

that measure is in cm ( centimeter )

yes i think so that the bullet is not fired. maybe he is fired in the sky or straight

and come on the road op somehow

I think it looks like an old small size railroad spike. and bakerman he's from the netherlands. meaning he did spell it right for him .lol

Exactly what I was thiking.

It looks to me as if it punctured the tire in the treed area and was driven smashing the back creating the flange.

that is a big bastard

your mouse buttons are much bigger than mine are deff not a .223 or 7.62

[flashlight_65]

Maybe it was a loose bullet cause I dont see any rifling on it. My guess would be 7.62.

Are there any military installations nearby?

[Monergist]

I'm gonna go with "nail" or "railroad spike" on this one.

[Monergist]

Take a picture of the base of the "cartridge;" I'd like to see the percussion cap, if it has one..

[Autruche]

Looks like a 7.62/30-06 round to me. Measurements seem to be pretty close from what I could gather in the pic.

deff not a .223 or 7.62

not 7.62x39 but could be a smashed up ground down 7.62x54r. I'm guessing when that bullet was in its prime it was around 48 cm and there are a lot of caliper bullets that this one could fit. Almost impossible to guess with out exact measurements and even then there is still going to be several rounds that used the same size bullet.
