Thegreatwarfinder Posted 18 February , 2019 Share Posted 18 February , 2019 (edited) I need some help identifying this bullet. I found this metal detecting in Ypres and I have not got a clue as I'm used to finding the same old .303 rounds 😂  Edited 18 February , 2019 by Thegreatwarfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 18 February , 2019 Share Posted 18 February , 2019 Looks more like a revolver bullet, like a .455. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikB Posted 18 February , 2019 Share Posted 18 February , 2019 Yes, .455" Mk. II Ball, most likely fired from a Webley Mk. VI revolver. Should be 7 rifling grooves. It looks as if it came to rest sedately without hitting anything very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
