| Type | API-T |
|---|
| Projectile | FMJ, GM, red over silver tip, 1 smooth crimping cannelure |
| Case | brass, taper crimp Markings: (black ink) SBC .5-6/61 |
| Primer | percussion, rounded, brass, ring crimp, black annulus |
| Headstamp | [none] |
| Notes | The tip appears to be red but on close inspection it is actually red over silver with most of the silver worn off. The "/61" portion of the case text is extrapolated from a reference in Fuchs' .50 BMG book. According to Fuchs, the primer/primer crimp suggests Italian manufacture but the SBC case stamp may indicate manufacture by Squires Bingham, Phillipines. |
