Please help me out… I have about 15 rounds of this and I’m not sure what it is other than Lake City. But can anyone tell me what Grain this is?? its also a hollow point so thats kind of what is throwing me off… I must have bought it when I bought my first rifle and was just buying random ammo… young and stupid haha…
If anyone has anything let me know…
they are in the Attachments… Thanks!!!
if you can’t see it says LC 07… i know that means Lake City 2007 but again not sure on the Grain and what not…
THANKS!!!
Looks like a plain Jane commercial 55 grain fmj to me. No bullet cannelure or crimped primer. Only way to know for sure is to pull one down.
Eta- I see the HP now, if the overall length is around 2.250 it may be a heavier projectile.
ya it seems a bit bigger than a normal 55gr fmj… i’ve just been trying to find some Federal/Lake City HP ammo and can’t find any at all… i wanna say its prolly 62-69gr…
Possible but I don’t see any cannelure or groove on OP projectile. OP neck is definitely not crimped.
I can tell you the round has been in a magazine and chambered at least once though!
I’m getting a Sierra vibe off the projectile meplat the more I stare at it.
Wasn’t the 262 mod0 made without a canelure?
Or its just some reman otm. It’s open tipped and looks more like otm than hp to me.
If you post this in the ammo section, ud probably get more hits.
Looks like M193 FMJ in the pictures, but you say it’s an OTM round, so my guess is Mk 318 SOST (liked above as the TN556TNB1). Has a similar look to M193 ball, but it weights 62gr. Can’t say I’ve seen 'em factory loaded in LC 07 before.
Looks like some sort of BTHP type bullet. Higher resolution photos would help, as the first photo kinda looks like there is a ring cannelure in the bullet right at the case mouth, but I can’t tell for sure. If there is, that would make me think Mk318 (sold commercially as TN556B1), but the Mk318 I’ve seen has a very smooth and shiny bullet and it’s easy to see the cannelure.
Without more info I would guess these are some commercial BTHP load in Lake City brass, but I’m not sure based on insufficient photo detail.
