150gr. .224 Projectile

[Gunner308]

Anyone ever heard of such? Friend of mine from work handed be a few today to break down and take a gander at. The pic is taken beside a 62g BTHP. Pretty neat round. I have never seen a cotton wad in a casing. The military code was marked in the box but I can’t for the life of me remember it.‍

Sheesh... I wonder if that’s supposed to be some type of subsonic version?

I’ve honestly never heard of any .224 over 90 grains and even those are for Valkyrie

thats alot of surface area.

subsonic,the cotton wad is to keep the powder charge against the primer area.can you post a headstamp pic.
you can stabilize a 100 grain with a 1x6.5 twist but this round probably wasnt meant to be .

What's the powder charge weight? It's anyone's guess at the burn rate but it looks like a healthy charge by volume.
