Frankford Arsenal calibration bullets for the 45 ACP?
Has anyone ever seen these before? I am guessing they are used during the bullet manufacturing process?
I ended up with boxes of old reloading components from a woman who used to work for me, her father had died many years ago and he had quite a bit of reloading components and bullet casting supplies. Among the bullets were five boxes of these "calibration components" from the Frankford Arsenal. I did a bit of research online but I found nothing, not even an image.
When I measured the OD, all of them are under .450, but this was just with my vernier, I did not break out the micrometer to go to four places but I am assuming that the label is correct so none of these would be useful for reloading.
If they have no value to a collector, I may just throw them in the lead pot the next time I cast and melt the lead out of them and send the jackets to recycling…
