Heres the deal..
Stopped in a pawn shop I frequent and he gave me a bunch of loose ammo he had while he was digging around looking for 8mm mauser and 6.5 Swede for me. I got all sorts of ammo, surplus 30-06, 9mm ++p submachine gun stuff, 7mm mauser, and this stripper clip of 556 with yellow tips.
At first I thought it was discolored green tips but I dont think so now. In the picture you have 3 black tip, next 3 green tip and finally the "yellow tips". They have a head stamp of "LC 88".
So with a little internet sleuthing it seems like these are likely duplex rounds as in 2 different projectiles in each case!!!!!!!
Another option is "starburst" rounds but that seems less likely....
So only way to know is to xray them, which I'm going to attempt to get done tomorrow! But I figured I'd share my curiosity for the moment.
