Strang Bullet?

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Found this strange bullet with its casing intact on Pismo Beach in Central California about 5 days ago. Is this the typical round for a Winchester riffle? Or something else?

Revolver.

.460 Smith and Wesson Magnum. Lots of fun.

The one you found is a dud. Notice the indentation in the primer and that the bullet is still in the case.

Manufactured by Winchester ammunition division.

Here is one version of the revolver it would be used in.

Wow! That is one powerful handgun! Dirty Harry would be proud!

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
