R Webster Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Really hoping this site still gets some traffic due to the latest dates for posts in this forum. But being as how I'm new here I'll give it a go. Recently got a hold of some 50cal projectiles. And before I use these for reloading I need to know exactly what I'm dealing with. As far as I can determine they are 50 caliber (.510 dia). They weigh on average 650 grains. They have a steel core (magnetic). And the only thing holding up this is the Cannelure pattern. I reached out to Lake City Armory and they weren't sure either. They said either a M33 APIT round or a M33 AP round. I would really appreciate it if someone with more knowledge in this area could weigh in. I don't want to load an unknown projectile of this size into a case with a guess as to propellent and charge weight for this particular projectile. Or know what it's going to do when it reaches the target. We don't need any accidents, safety first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
