This bullet just went through my back wall of my living room while my kids were at home due to covid school closures. I need help from the THF members to see what caliber this is. Thanks in advance.

That is no good at all. Glad no one was injured or killed and hope they find out who did this.

Man, that's not good. If you had a caliper and a scale, I could narrow down the options real quick. LEO's would be able to help with it. The main thing would be to figure out the trajectory info and any down angle of the flight path to know where it came from. Then back track it from there. That would be first.

The main thing to know is the bullet width or diameter, and also knowing the weight would help.

If you post up a close up of the bullet with the tape measure there, I can get close.

We live on 30 acres and have a pistol rifle range within a mile from us so there is always shooting near us but haven't had any issues before.

That isnt your standard "pistol" bullet, looks like an FMJ rifle bullet of some kind.

Yeah that's not good at all and I expected that was going to be your answer. The truth is, that gun range is now on borrowed time. I hate to see them get shut down but I bet its closer now than ever for this poor range. Just cant have strays punching through walls especially where your kids play.
