Help identifying 30cal 180gr bullet

[RFM66500]

Anyone have an idea what bullet this is? They’re 180gr 1.42x” long and have a black ballistic tip. Can’t seem to match up a manufacturer using google and similar bullets don’t have a cannelure. Any help is appreciated!

Usually the 30cal black tip bullets are 163 gr but yours sure look like it

Interesting that those have been loaded then disassembled to be sold. Military over run ammo ??


EDIT; upon a little searching black tip is armor piercing ??

Never seen one with the cannelure, and way forward

Ahh good catch, maybe not then. I wasn’t paying attention

When it’s painted, often yeah. Hold a magnet to it, see if it has the steel core

I think ap handgun ammo is banned, not rifle. You just have to make sure you don’t shoot it at steel targets you don’t want to damage or at a range than bans it

IF that’s what that is. I’m just guessing

That’s exactly what I bought. Originally I thought they could be Barnes TCX just based off looks until I cut it. It does not attract a magnet.

I think it's a Swift Scirocco that was made for one of the major ammunition manufacturers with that added deep cannelure. That bullet has a very thick jacket and the black plastic tip, just like the Sciroccos.

Whatever it is, it's a very nice hunting bullet.

You’re correct! Looks like it’s for Remingtons premium line. Thanks!
