what caliber is this?
« on: February 04, 2011, 10:27:45 AM »
i found this casing while coyote hunting,  its a 308 case,  but the tip is smaller than .22, ....  maybe .17? 

the photo shows the casing next to a 308 round.

     That looks an awful lot like the old casings we used to find when the mattawa area opened up to farming....30 cal machine gun casing blanks. used to find belts of them on the ground!
