Old bullet?

[jphillipw]

A friend of mine found an old bullet while metal detecting. Does anyone here have any insight? Thanks!

Do you have something to compare it to for size, scale, diameter?

Just from looking at the picture, I'd say its a 230 grain full metal jacketed .45 ACP bullet.

That's what I was going with too. Without reference it could also be a 90gr .380 acp FMJ too.

True, pictures can be deceiving.

Because the copper has turned green from corrosion.

Doesn't even look green to me. Dang little phone screen.

Would a 45 acp bullet have a cavity on the bottom.
