I would like to find a tech drawing, schematic, whatever you want to call it on a 16" 50 cal HC HE projectile. Thinks like markings, proper painting, what pieces make it up, etc. Hope someone can help. Maybe someone was a gunners mate on a BB?
I have been a shooter all my life and currently enjoy a McBros .50 cal (the little .50" cal) target rifle. Gave up Hi-Power competition shooting when eyes gave up.
I look forward to some interesting reading on here.

Greetings Turbo and welcome to the WAB.
The information you seek is here within the Battleship Forum.
There are specs for the 16"/50 cal HE round (1900lbs.) and the 16"/50 cal AP round (2700lbs). If you peruse the threads I believe you will find the colors each ship was assigned as well as a schematic for them.
This link may help.
