At first glance it looked like the top portion of a Williams Cleaner
type bullet. There are at least 3 different types. I no longer have
any of my personal library at work. I can not tell from the photos
what the front end of the bullet/object looks like. Can you get a good
side shot shot and straight on shots of both ends?

In other news, the wolves and coyotes have finished investigating
a break-in at the henhouse. The fox has been cleared.
