Found this bullet at Memorial Park here in houston, right up against and a little under a tree root (really LARGE root). Anyway, it was about 4 inches down. The mark indicates U.S.C. Co and has 17 on the bottom. It looks like it has been "fired" by the indention, but the bullet is still on top. What does that mean? Didn't fire?
Anyway, I found where they said that the number indicates the year manufactured, so this would be 1917? Is this correct? I forgot to put a coin for size comparison, but my calipers measure the fatest part of the bullet (at the top) at .45.
any help id'ing would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
