✅ SOLVED Quick question about a bullet

[WHADIFIND]

I kinda figured what this is but I'm a little confused by the markings on the inside.



I know very little about ammunition. What would those marks be? Just a product of production?

Thanks!

It resembles the "wagon wheel" or "pressed and turned" method of manufacturing used by different producers including the Frankford Arsenal. The bullet may not have been pressed onto the machine fully resulting in the circular marks. On a correctly pressed bullet the six grooves, the ends of which can be seen in your example, would extend out from a center pivot point.

Welp, that seems right enough to me and with all the responses I'm getting, it must be the only answer.

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, lots of no answers, but it's something I sure didn't know about, so learned something today.

I didn't really expect too many answers. After all, this was a holiday.

But, I learned something new as well!

Thanks!
