So long story short a buddy of mine at work is a sort of interesting character and although he is into guns and portrays himself as a gun nut he isn't really all that knowledgeable about gun stuff. He was mentioning that he couldn't find any 12 gauge slugs anywhere. I assured him that they were not hard to find. Later in the conversation he mentioned that he had a box of .40S&W hollow points and a box of .44mag that he had no use for because he doesn't have guns for them. At this point I saw an opportunity. I told him I would trade him 2 boxes of 12 gauge slugs in exchange for his box of .40S&W. He thought this was a great trade (and oh so did I ) well long story short I brought in the slugs and he handed me a box of ammo.
I didn't really take that close of a look at it, tossed it in my truck and called it good I did realize that the rounds were not hollow points and actually were just lead.
Well now I got home and looked the rounds closer and I realized the damm things are not .40S&W they are .45acp. They are only head stamped WCC 77
I don't own a .45acp pistol but I am sure I will in the future. So I think I will keep them and not cause an issue with him but I will mention it to him.
I attached pictures below because I also noticed that the rounds look kinda different that I would have expected. It looks like they have a crimp band around halfway down the round, not sure if this is a sign that they are somebody's hand loads or if that's just the way they are made.
