Has this bullet been fired?

[UncleJak]

Hoping to have a few more opinions on this. Trying to determine if this was ever fired or of is simply a component. There arr some grooves I the side but not much more than thay. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

Appears to be fired.

I agree, it appears to be fired due to the rifling marks.

Looks that way to me

I don't think it has been fired, but it does look like it was pushed through a barrel.

^this.

Could have been fired with a small powder charge and was lodged in barrel. Then manually pushed out of the barrel.

I am wondering how it ended up on the top deck of a parking garage. Could it have been fired and simply fallen up there with minimal damages? Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

Sounds like it was shot up into the air.

I am going to agree. I have some 45acp bullets at home that I found on my range with very little rifling on one side. The day I found them we had been shooting close range at ground targets and could see the bullets go into the dirt. I am guessing that these hit I root and started back up. Found them lying on the ground pristine about 10 feet behind where we were shooting. JTM We the People of the United States, in order to form a more Perfect Union......

It definitely went through a barrel of the appropriate caliber.

Probably an IDPA load. It has been fired.
