Who says you cant find anything decent at a gunshow? I picked up the attached for $25 yesterday. Makes a handsome addition to my reloading bench and man cave.   |

yeah, i kind of wondered about that. I'm guessing the primer fires and heats the shit out of the "boner" which ignites the shit load of powder in the case. Otherwise it would take a fucking hot as magnum primer to touch off all the slow burning powder this bitch will hold. perhpas someone more knowledgable about artillary munitions will chime in and set the record straight..... |

yes I do..... Shipping from IN would be pricey. They guy did have a 155 projectile (sans powder and fuse) that he wanted $100 for. I thought about it but with it missing the fuse on top it looked kind of incomplete. If it had even in inert something on top I may have bought it. |

Another pic with some common items to provide scale: left to right: .45 ACP, .223 , .50 Beowlf, .308 yes, it has a column of small holes up 2 sides of the flash tube. Does this mean its from a tank versus a howitzer? What does the M14 designation indicate on the headstamp. Anyway of telling what sort of round was loaded in it?  |
