You know, at second look, the bullets don't really look like they are cast lead; as the bullets just look too perfect (no oxidation, perfect edges, no casting seam, presence of a cannalure, etc.)!

Could they be nickel jacketed bullets instead; as both the German and U.S. manufacturers used nickel jackets for some time into the 1930s. Your WRA headstamped casings would be from this early period too, by the way.

Can you mark the bullet with a good strong application of your thumbnail? If not, you may have some original Winchester FMJ Hollow Point ammo here.

Again, do we have a member more familiar with the Winchester products of that period?

Thanks, as the mystery continues.
