Bullet Questions

[Older The Better]

Ive Found Several of these casings and they are slightly larger than a .22 I think, I put a modern .22 next to it, what caliber is that close to a .22?


I Found this .32 Rimfire and it appears to have been struck twice. are there guns with firing pins that leave two marks?


Can Anybody tell me anything about this headstamp?

Could be a .25.

The .32 case with two hits, probably did not fire the first time, so was turned and struck a second time.
There are guns with two firing pins, but I think they are always directly across from each other.

Is the bottom one a shotgun? The mark might mean 12 gauge.

Yes the last one is a shotgun shell, probably paper, I like to take the detector into the woods and see if I cant find any rare headstamps, this one is the only one out of hundreds that hasn't had any type of name on it.

if it helps I put calipers on the larger .22 looking case it was .2595 on the outside .2275 on the inside. I dont know enough about ammunition dimensions but if the modern .22 was .2365 out .2040 in then the larger one could be a .25

On the casing the firing pin marks look like they're in different locations, which tells me that they were not made by the same firing pin. I've never seen a double firing pin firearm that small.

Thinking it's a 25 Stevens Short.......Without measurements in thousands on an inch, can't be sure
