I picked this .45 ammo in the late 80's when I was stationed at Ft Bragg. It came in a pack of 5 or 6. It's supposed to be an all copper hollow point bullet with a polymer tip to aid in feeding.

Some sort of Glaser safety slug, maybe?
At first I thought it was Geco BAT , but that only came in 9mm
This stuff, perhaps? http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=198820

How about letting us have a look at the head stamp? That might shine a little light on the origin of the ammunition in question.

It's loaded on Remington brass.

I thought PPS as soon as I saw it, Aaron Lipman was a hell of a salesman and I bought some once.

Well, I was hoping for a clue there. Just my luck. :rolleyes:

This is PowRball by CorBon. They have used Rem brass in the past.

Power Ball has a more rounded ogive compared to the MMC--both being crap...
