<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 222396, member: 25"]It does look a bit like a projectile from a cannon shell round, possibly a tracer round.I am wondering now if it could be from a depleted uranium round, I note the driving band usually applied to non-lead projectiles to minimise barrel wear and give the rifling something to work on. What is the exact diameter? In mm. Is it extremely heavy for its size? If it is not do not bother comparing it with any of these pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=depleted+uranium+round" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=depleted+uranium+round" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=depleted+uranium+round</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I imagine British soldiers brought back all manner of stuff from Iraq.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
