[QUOTE="Broz, post: 458581, member: 7503"] Well I just did a little checking. I pulled a bullet and it is a boat tail and [B][I]no[/I][/B] hollow point and it weighs 55.2 grains. The case is indeed steel. When you scratch it it is silver and a magnet sticks to it. The powder is a small flaked powder. Primers are brass colored not silver. The case is a greenish color with a redish sealer over it that is dark red around the edge of the primer. The headstamp says .223 Rem and 180* of that it has a 3 diget or simbol of some sort. They are loose in a military ammo can and they do not look as if they have been reloaded or hand loads for sure. That is all I know other than they shoot pretty darn good from my Stag AR. Thanks for any other info if someone can help. Jeff [/QUOTE]
