Bullets...can you identify these?

Click to view image full-size (1024x768) Update 09-Oct-2006: These are definitely .50 calibre armor piercing cores, to be delivered to Olin and/or General Dynamics for assembly into rounds destined for the US Army.

Sarah,
Looks like .50 caliber in size, but not like any .50 ammo that I've ever shot. But these could be some sort of Armor Piercing rounds since they seem to be milled and you mentioned that they needed to be tempered.

Those are penetrator cores for .50 cal bullets.

Yeah, Jason, they are definitely armor piercing. He told me that much but I forgot to ask the caliber :)

The consensus I'm hearing in the Tavern, too, is .50 caliber. Kewel.
