Really yes! The round was developed from the 1-inch machine gun round with the same size brass case, but different designs. There are two projectiles for the machine gun, a blunt pointed iron/steel bullet partially encased with a brass envelope and a later,sharply pointed steel bullet also partially encased with a brass envelope. There are also two projectiles for the aiming rifle, the bullet you have (made from lead and antimony) and a similar bullet without cannelures, but a copper cap fixed to the base (the bullet made from the same material as yours. There should be pictures of all these on the BOCN site, but I'll post a full set if you can't find them. Depotman
