What is this round?

I found this interesting .30 to .35 ish caliber bottle neck round which seems lengthwise like a .30 carbine, but has a slight bottleneck. Does someone know the headstamp? This one kept my head spinning. Thanks.

Sounds about right to me. I thought so. What is the round I wonder?

How about a picture next to a .223 or 556 round? That 60 might be 09.

And a 308 if you have it

Or factory Lake City 300 BLK

Looks like a Lake City 2009 5.56 casing.

So my guess would be .300Blk, possibly loaded with a 110grn .30 Carbine bullet.

Sounds about it being .300 blk. I just was thrown off by the rounder bullet as opposed to the spritzer style with the sharp point. Thanks everyone as always. 09 sounds reasonable not 60 for 1960.

If you pull the bullet and weigh it, I bet it weighs 110grns.
