Strange (to me) "bullet".
« on: November 02, 2008, 09:38:15 PM »
Just wondering if anyone could tell me what is up with shell my 7 year old found laying around a pond we were fishing at? I am not familiar with it and I'm sure someone could educate me. As much as I am capable of being educated anyway.  ;)

I hope this works and I can get these pic uploaded!

Can't really see the stampings on the head, but it does appear to be a dummy round. I see the primer has been hit and there's a hole that could really only be drilled into it purposefully, so more likely than not, you've got a dummy round used for dry-fire practice.

The headstamp says CCI 4 9mm LUGER and a symbol I can't identify.

So obviously its a CCI 9mm but beyond that I'm stumped.

P.S. my google-fu is strong, but it availed me not.

CCI N R 9mm Luger - it's a Blazer casing.

N R stands for non reloadable. It looks like a home-made snap cap, although I have vague memories (I'm getting old, lol) of a button bullet with a laser or light in it for aligning the sights.

I'll try to check on the latter.

Take a look at this site - some really weird bullets in 9mm here, including 'high explosive":

Hey, I think you might be on to something. It was found at a lake where they are known to have dog trials from time to time.  8)

A blank with a bullet in it?  ???  I''ve seen a lot of Blazer ammo and none had a bullet like that and none were blanks. I don't think it came from the factory that way. My best guess is it's a home-made dummy round.
