what is this?

[Photoguy67]

Buddy showed me this cartridge and I honestly have no idea what it is. Any ideas?

[Jamie Jackson]

Do you have a shot (photo) from the bullet end and something for size comparison?

 

The protrusion, from the second photo, looks a bit like the Pin Grabber rounds...

 

Looking forward to others comments and enlightenment. :pleased:

That is an M82 primer for 155mm howitzers.

I'm impressed! :hat:

[Photoguy67]

Thanks Garufa. Had no idea.

I'm impressed as well...I would be even more impressed if your friend has what it goes to in the backyard. :D

I'm sorry but I can neither confirm nor deny any such equipment.
