While gathering range scrap for another casting run, I came across an odd bullet.
It was a jacketed bullet but the jacket was in bad shape and came off it when I picked it up. The core was made of a bundle of 7 or so approximately 14-gauge lead wires, wrapped with a spiral of 3-4 more lead wires of the same type. Looked sort of like a cable from a suspension bridge, but much smaller. This was obviously made in long lengths and cut off to form the bullet core. It appeared to have been cold swaged into the jacket.
Ideas? Comments?
