This bullet was extracted by one of my coworkers from the barrel of a 556 AR that experienced a squib load.
What in the holy fuck is it?
Looks like someone got a 300blk round fired into a 556 barrel

Yeah, nope, i have seen that before and the rifle blew up.
Here we just had a blown extractor.
Unless, maybe, a very weak subsonic?
Does this line/ separation go all the way around? Because it looks like 2 bullets.

Sort of, but it is pretty damn solid now, I tried to snap it in two and it won't budge.

A bigger hammer is the correct answer.
Simple. That?s just your standard 150gr projectile. Probably a long range, match bullet of some sort.

Weigh it. That’s the start to your answer.

Make sure your brass rod for removing a squib is smaller than your bore.

149.6gr.
Looks like a very squeezed up 300 blk it is...

Nice. My 150gr guess in my first post was pretty accurate then.
