Ha ha, fair enough, thanks for the tips, no need to worry about heat then. Incidentally, I had similar concerns about flares stored in car trunks.

So I got a metric ruler and tried to measure it.

When measuring the shell/casing part of the round:
Length 45mm
Diameter of bottom 10mm (approx)

When measuring with the "bullet" part:
Length 57mm
Diameter of where the bullet enters the casing 6mm(approx)

Writing on the bottom (clockwise starting from 12 oclock):

INI 9 02 1

Looks like this

INI
1 9
02

The round is from Israel, approximately no more than 2 years old (assumption)
