    5.56x45mm Semi-Jacketed Frangible

    Picked up, literally, rounds of what looks to be Frangible 5.56x54 NATO ammunition. At least that's what I think it is so far, I've not disassembled one yet but one of them has a the tip broken off so I'm pretty sure they are.

    good components and if they are 50 grain, might make a good "lead-free" round for critters in California. Did anyone use these for shooting and hunting critters up to Cayote size with them?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
