Someone on Imgur identified the bullet. It’s a Remington Bronze tip. The quick research it did says Basically a lead free design of its time and is comparable to a ballistic tip (steel instead of plastic). Could be from 1920-1960 but Remington stopped manufacturing this round because it was “armor penetrating” with the steel tip.
I was hoping it had a little more history behind it since he was in WWII and family found this while cleaning his house when my great aunt died.
The tip was bronze not steel, bullet had a lead core and tip caused it to expand faster so not AP. Not sure when they quit making them but they are still on the Midway website.
