Title: Need help id'ing a .69 cal
Post by: Gunner Thrasher on March 20, 2019, 07:52:58 PM

Hey All, I was digging thru some bullets I have and came across a .69 cal this is unusual to me. It is .894 in tall, has a single wide groove near the base and the inside of the base is triangular. Would have posted pixs but I am technically inept, lol. Thanks in advance Gordon.
