Farmfield finds

I think I found what the silver thing is... A concho? I think it is for a saddle. The bell still has the ball inside. Any help on this monster bullet or the flask looking thing with the two holes?

Like Croatia bell. Looks like there might be more there!

Hard to tell the cartridge size from the photo. Can you read anything on the base?

 

[bblaha]

Hard to tell but it reminds me of some .223 rounds I have for my AR

 

[Gunrunner61]

Can't tell the caliber, But it's pretty modern having the nylon tip.....................HH

 

[gforce1972]

The casing is too corroded to read anything. You are correct in that it appears to have a nylon or plastic tip. Not knowing much about these types of bullets, why would it have this type of tip ?

 

[civil_war22]

The bullet is a ballistic round possibly .223 but can't tell dimensions

 

[gforce1972]

Can you elaborate on that? What do you mean by ballistic?

Oh ok. Googled it and figured it out.

Well anything from deer hunting to home defense

Looks like a 22-250 to me. It is a modern round. The ballistic tip is basically a piece of hard plastic inserted in a hollow point. Upon impact it acts like a hollow point. With the insert the round flys very flat and long.

Any help with the metal flask looking thing with the two holes in the upper right?
