Guess what this is

[EddieCoyle]

(It's not mine - GerryCaruso picked it up off the range and gave it to me today)

 

[wilson911]

A bullet casing.

 

[Lucas McCain]

Severely trimmed.

 

[Mikel131]

Brass metallic casing

 

[EddieCoyle]

It is brass case, and it was not trimmed.

May be an illusion from the slight shadow and perspective, but is the base of the case narrower and most of the case (where the walls are thinner) bulged? Was it fired in an oversized chamber? The transition from the case to the shoulder seems uneven, and I don't see any taper in the case.

 

[swatgig]

A fiddy?

 

[38ExtraSpecial]

.308 fired in a 30’06?

Good observation, but the chamber met SAAMI specs (for its caliber).

.308 fired in a 30’06?

Winner! Nice Michael!

next time gerry, just toss it in the trash and move on.

Thank you. Thank you. I’ll be here all night
One of my few talents. Well maybe my only one.

 

[EddieCoyle]

It's the second worse "wrong chamber" case in my collection.

 

[HorizontalHunter]

6.5 PCC?

What’s the other one?
Do you think this was a controlled round feed action? I’m guessing a push feed wouldn’t have fired right?

settle down now!

It'll headspace on the extractor (that's how the firing pin was able to make solid enough contact to get it rolling), and feed normally in most guns. It sounds funny though.

 

[Upland]

I see it now,shoulder blown out. I wonder how much gas escaped into the action?

did you see anyone walking around with one eyebrow?

 

[EddieCoyle]

What’s the other one?

 

[drgrant]

At first I thought, .223/556 fired in a .300 blk upper.... Although in retrospect I would think it would be more fuct than that...

[BONESTOCK]

Wild guess here.
32 colt in a .357

 

[McReef]

So is that considered a wildcat, or just a wild time?

32 colt in a .357

The second one? You're on the right track, but think bigger. Much bigger.

That marking at the top really made me think .300 black out also. LOL I've made lots of them from .223

No way 45 colt

Ohh that’s harder for sure. Looks like a small case. I’m kind of thinking something 32 like a 327 to get the length to diameter ratio right. Either that a 22 hornet of 25/20 (32/20) touched off the in wrong chamber. Maybe 32/20 in a 32/40

 

[BONESTOCK]

.44 for the second one. Best guess

 

[EddieCoyle]

No way 45 colt

Getting warmer.

Here it is next to a 9mm and the original 308:

 

[38ExtraSpecial]

Damn!! 500 smith? 460?

 

[BONESTOCK]

45 win mag
No way .500 but ok maybe. LOL

 

[BONESTOCK]

The only one I have ever done myself was .380 out of an old FEG 9mm Browning clone.
It fired no problem then FTF
