Can /k/ help me out

What country are you from OP?

The Netherlands

I dunno, might be from a WW-era Canadian or German issue round.

You can probably tell pretty well by measuring it with a caliper.

Also count how many grooves are left in the bullet. Eyeballing, it looks like 5, which suggests possibly a Lee-Enfield fired it, assuming it's a .303
German K98s had 4 grooves,
Lee-Enfields had 2, 5, and 6 groove rifling, depending on which arsenal made them.
I don't know about the different MGs used off the top of my head.

The bullet is still in the wood i chopped but from what i can see the bullet has 3 grooves.

>>34349939
just 3 visible to you? Or three in all?

However many grooves there are, they'd be symmetrical.

Square-ish end of the bullet's base to me looks more like .303 than a 7.92- but I'm not an expert really

>>34349946
three grooves in total symmetrically around the bullet

Interesting. I did a bit of research for you, and the only rifle I could find from WW2 that has 3-groove rifling is the Schmidt-Rubin - it's Swiss, so it's highly unlikely that one of those was the source of your bullet.
I'd suspect that the bullet came from a hunter's or target shooter's rifle, but it's not really characteristic of modern hunting ammo. I can't rule anything in or out.
Narrowing it down by bullet diameter and weight would give you a much better idea, but I wouldn't pull the bullet out just to do that.

Cut it into a nice block, give it a bit of linseed oil, and put it on the fireplace for a neat display piece.
