Winner - Barfly

I have 38 rds of F / C head stamp, Nickle plated .223 brass. Not some thing you see very often.
I checked this with a magnet and it did not stick.


I do not load .223, so if you would like them, just say "In".

Thought if you do not want to load and shoot them, They might be used for an unusual plaque
that could be given away at shoots or clean-ups for the best "B-S'er" or what ever.
Just a idea.

I talked with Steve / Madpick and this is what he had to say:

"I have a few nickel-plated pieces in my collection, but they're few and far between, that's for sure.

I do worry about the current silver-colored ammo that's out there, though, that's actually steel with a zinc plating:

I suspect we'll see more and more of that creeping into the brass supply, and hopefully people will know to throw it away.

Yours is Federal, so I'm sure it's actual nickel-plated brass. They must have a self-defense ammo of some kind they use it for, I would guess.

Steve"

PIF will run until Fri afternoon.

If that is the brass I am thinking of, it is from Federal Premium 55 grain Nosler ballistic tip rounds.
