.223

The gray part is plastic.  I've never seen anything like this.  What is it?

It's garbage that's what it is.  We had a bunch of stuff just like this....was supposed to be high-speed low drag since it would be "so much lighter".

Bullet unseats very easy...no way to keep water out of the powder....and it can't handle high pressures (likely to cause a failed extraction leading to a double feed)

The headstamp should read "CRAP  .223"

natec makes it, its a polymer cased .223 round.  I had a whole pile of it for my AR and it ran great.
