Strange bullet. #16542996 10/19/21 Joined: May 2017 Posts: 249 Colorado C Colorado14er OP Campfire Member OP Colorado14er Campfire Member C Joined: May 2017 Posts: 249 Colorado I happened across a very unique bullet and am wondering if anyone recognizes it. The shell has no markings on it but it is a bit larger than a .22. Any idea what this is for? "What's the point of being retired if you can't climb trees and wash your feet in the creek?" - Teal

Shame too. They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I never saw one where the anchor was preloaded into a cartridge. Most use a blank cartridge to drive the anchor. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
