    Sounds like a military headstamp. Pix would help, or dimensions of base, rimmed or
    rimless, LOA, neck ID, etc.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    Pic's would be great! Any chance it's FNB, a little wear goes a long way and I know my peepers have a few miles on them.

    I do not have the case, a friend of mine called and asked for some info. I could not find anything on that headstamp. He found 62 rounds of this rifle ammo in an old foot locker of his grandfathers that has passed. Soon as I get my hands on 1 of them I will update.
    Thanks
