What function does a white US projectile denote? On the projectile it says:
HOSDREG
20MM MK3 MOD46
10-42

Vlad,

The white painted projectile indicates a WWII U.S. Navy high explosive (HE, Tetryl) loading!!!

If you cannot easily visually verify the projectile is empty then you have a problem and it should be turned over to the proper authorities for disposal. No joke, no messing around!!!
