Kind of hard to tell from the picture.



Do you have a better picture of them laying flat and maybe some measurements?

yeah, they do have that non boat tailed spired profile of say 7.62x54r, some .303 and similar, don't they?

Yep, bullets.

I agree, .30 Cal military. You near an old army base or gunnery range?

Some were found at a saltwater beach were i know used to have shooting ranges.

They are 100% bullets. They may not be that old either. I have reloaded for many years and I have some components that look identical to those. Not having a boat tail doesn't do anything to determine age. I actually prefer a flat based bullet, they are more accurate than boat tails out of my rifles. By the photos it's hard to judge size but I am guessing 30 cal or smaller. This includes a large amount of hunting rifles that are capable of shooting a caliber in this range. It is obvious the bullets didn't strike a solid back stop as they aren't deformed at all. So the source could have been miles away from where they were found. I was detecting out behind the house yesterday and found a few Hollow Base Wad Cutters in 38/357, I haven't loaded those since 94 and I am sure it is one of mine. That's what you call recycling, lol!!!
