50 Caliber M2 hardened brass projectiles I cleaned up leaving the rifling in place to show they have been fired.
These key rings are great sellers at the gun shows.

Paul,
They came from an old military winter firing range that was in use back in the late 40's early 50's.
Once the snow was off, but before the ice melted you could pick up and fill 45 gallon drums full of projectiles and brass.
