Yep......U.S. .50/12.7mm Nato BMG Cartridge produced by the Lake City Ammunition Plant in 1991. Fired from the Browning M2, M3, ANM2 Machine Gun. Used by U.S. Forces since its introduction in 1918 and still very much in use today. Used on many armored vehicles, tanks, and Aircraft of WWII. In use in the Middle East right now. Much military training went on along the East Coast of the U.S. at various locations.
Your example was made in 1991.

Lake City Army Ammunition Plant located at Independence, Missouri, in Jackson County, is the largest small-arms (5.56 - 20 mm) manufacturing plant in the world. With the exception of the five year period between the end of World War II and the beginning of the Korean conflict, this government-owned, contractor-operated facility has been in continuous production since October 1941.

With the hole bored in the neck I would guess it was a dummy round and someone pried out the bullet. Monty

Kuger,
Yes sir.....I've completed at Raton at the Whittington Center with the AMAC1500 and the M82A1 @ 1000 yards. What size targets are you consistantly hitting at 1500 yards? What are your optics?I'm also using a M2HB mounted on ring above the M35A2 Deuce cab. We're hitting vehicles at repeatadly at 2000-2200 yards once dialed in....no optics...just corrective fire with API and Blue. We remanufacture ammo if your ever in need.
