Strange brass find…...

[Caster]

Our good friend David sells primed brass.  You cannot find it cheaper.

This particular lot of brass is Lake City .223 pull down.  It's really good stuff, nice and clean.  About 2 or 3 pcs out of every 250 might have a boogered neck.  Save those for .300 blackout.  

 

Anyway, as I am loading I run upon something I have NEVER seen before.  

A piece of brass with no primer…..and NO PRIMER POCKET LOL.  

 

How the hell did that get in there?

Haha, that's cool. Trade ya a live round for it?

[Caster]

Yeah, I'm bet tin it's worth a little more than that to the right collector.  LOL.

Ok, ok, ya drives a hard bargain... TWO live rounds, brass cases even. :x:

But really, WTF?! I feel ripped off like one of my buddies just pulled a cool transformer prize from his happy meal and I pulled out a Barbie or something out of mine.

Why am I this excited about a "round" that won't even shoot? When I don't even own it?

All I know is I still think its cooler than being cool.

Some type of training round or gauge is my guess.

Because of inflation my 2 cents is now a nickel.   :rofl:

[Caster]

Me and Dolomite was theorizing about possibilities.

I'm gonna say its NOT a training round. It is possible you could break a firing pin if you were to drop a hammer on it. I'm gonna say, and Dolomite agreed to the possibility, it may be a lot sample for quality control OR for customer inspection.

That (probably) is a souvenir that congressional staff receives during dog&pony shows trolling for funding.

I'd take it back for a refund. :rant:

[Caster]

It kinda looks like a big ole rimfire!

[Superman]

[TrickyNicky]

It kinda looks like a big ole rimfire!

And we've touched on my obsession.

Have you tried calling Lake City? I might in Monday, just to see what the availability is or if I can get on a waiting list. :rofl:

[tartanphantom]

Haha-- made me think about a scene from "Black Dynamite"!
