  2. You can't read the bullet, Ghost, because it's about three inches deep into the barrel.

    1. What does that mean OG?
      The writing is on the end of the bullet, around the primer. But it blurs out when I zoom in. I'm not aware of writing on the sides of a cartridge.

    2. A bullet is a projectile, in this case most likely cast from a lead alloy. What you are looking at in the picture is the rear of the cartridge case (or just "case").

      The bullet is the baseball; you are looking at the writing on the back of the pitcher's uniform.
