That's pretty damn cool! Whack the tip back into shape with a BFH and shoot it again!

(Don't. But it's cool none-the-less.)

Here's a couple relics I found a few years back out south of where I live. There's an area out there where the Air Force had a bombing range many years ago. The bullet was laying on top of a gumbo hill totally exposed. I found the loaded round about 1/4 mile away laying on another hill. The bullet weighs 689 grains.

Can anyone ID the headstamp of the live round? When it was made, Where it was made?....Always wondered.
