How do you know the round you found was factory loaded?
So your true story is that you and your friend won't shoot factory ammo?

Hope your hand loading and shooting abilities are better than your spelling and sentence composition abilities.
Then again, couldn't help but be... |

I'm old and frugal, I would have put it in my pocket and it would have gone in my ammo box when I got home if it passed visual inspection. I once found a 348 cartridge in the woods a year after I lost it in the snow. Put it in my pocket, it got mixed with my other ammo and it all got shot eventually. Never noticed a bum round in the lot. Ammo is tough and this wasn't exactly the cool and dry conditions you hope for.
