What Happened To This Bullet ?

[cohunt]

Could have been in an ar chassis.. hit feed ramp/barrel extension lug and jammed, distorted and did not feed correctly, then a forward assist was "whacked" to try to feed/chamber to no avail

Looks like someone forgot to switch from their sizing die to the seating die and jammed the bullet up in between the decaping rod/expander ball and the inside of the die when they went to seat the bullet.

^^^^This has my vote.

Could be a blemish bullet from Midway, I guess...

I'm with Barrelnut. It appears there are brass striating on the bullet. Someone short cycled and tried to force a 2 nd round into another round. I would think that it took considerable force to cause that to the bullet. If you have to force a round into the chamber then you should STOP and take a look to see why.

Where did you find it?

I think it might be a bullet stuck in the throat and he ran a rod down the muzzle to knock it out.

I'm with sedancowboy on this one. Or some trick shot tossed it in the air and shot it with his quickdraw single action.

I found this the other day in the dirt next to the bench. It's a .30 caliber and weighs 229.9 grains, it looks like a Berger. It didn't get fired as there are no rifling marks but it sure looks like it hit something, or something hit it. Maybe something stuck in the barrel ? I'm not sure but I think I'm glad I wasn't there to see it.View attachment 109943 View attachment 109944 View attachment 109945 View attachment 109946 View attachment 109947

Someone filed the feed ramp and created a chisel
