I have two rounds of 30-06 that look a lot like the bullet of M855A1. This is older ammo from a great uncle that died 20 years ago. I was thinking he might have brought the rounds back with him from WWII but they do not have a date code on the Brass. Brass says 30-06 Sprg REM-UMC. I First thought armor piercing round but the ones I’ve seen in 30-06, 308, 50 bmg are painted tips.
Could this be just a ballistics tip round but instead of a plastic tip they used a steel tip due to technology?
