The bullet is fascinating, its a Cylindro conoidal bullet, if you google, it saves me going off on one, has it got a hollow base?


God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

Thanks everyone smile

Bert, no, the base is not hollow. I have looked for one online but with no luck, only finding American types with a double ring. I will google Cylindro conoidal now, cheers smile
