It's best to post up a couple pics of the cartridge, especially the head stamp.

Is it brass or steel cased? Brass cased could be something on the line of a Hornady A-Max, FXT, or ELD product line. Brass or Steel cased from a military source could possibly be Tracer ammo.

My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.
