You are probably correct, I went back and exploded the photo and took a good look at it. What threw me was the boat tail shape and the diameter, like the common M-2 round. But the projectle of a M-2 is only about 1 1/2 inches long and weighs around 700 grams, not 2 1/2 inches long. This seems to have heavy pitting. Not even those I've found had that amount. True, I've seen plenty that had hit the ground or a rock and were mis-shaped.
It' s definately NOT a window weight, they are about 10 inches and weigh several pounds and are usually made of cast iron.
By the way, I too have years of being with the military and have handled many spent rounds. I fired my first Browning (30 cal) sitting in the lap of a TOP, at the age of only 5 years old. Couldn't get away with such these days, HUH?
Have a good day, good luck and good hunting.
