rtr Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I bought a used Glock recently, it came with some ammo, reloaded ammo, some of it has a W (or M) in a sort of cursive font on the end of the bullet, they are .40 flat nose, copperish in color (darker than say a montana gold), just curious what brand these are and if they are jacketed or plated or what. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Winchester has some of those bullets in some of their factory ammo. I think it's the less-toxic stuff but I'm not sure. Are you sure it's reloaded? If it has a new Winchester case and a silver primer, it might be factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan45kim Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 It sounds like you may have some frangible bullets in those cases. The only bullets I have ever seen that have a W on the bullet are Sinterfire frangible bullets. They are made of powdered copper and tin that is compressed in a mold and then sintered (baked) to harden the bullet. Because they are made in a “mold” it is easy to put the buyers “mark” on the end of the bullet. If you want to know if they are frangible just pull a bullet out of its case and hit it with a hammer, if it brakes up into powder it is a Sinterfire frangible bullet.
