Ok, so i was wandering around an old homestead that has been abandoned for a billion years (it sure looks that way) looking for some lead from old commercial fishing nets, and i started noticing old brass in one of the falling down old buildings. There were also many unloaded bullets and small chuncks of lead... So i start digging around a bit more any i find some of these......

85103
The top bullet is a standard 308 for comparison.... The headstamp has the military O with the + in the center.. And it looks to be LC (lake city) or LO and 64 ( probably the year). Also, i got to poking around into the center of the case with a toothpick and there was old powder in it. The case is also primed but cant tell yet what type of primer. The neck is sooooo tiny though.... I believe that i also found a strange looking bullet as well that looks to also maybe fit in the neck, but cant tell for sure until it gets out of the tumbler..... Looks to be 308 whatever it is....
Any ideas??? From some of you older then me old timers?. I was like 5 years old if the headstamp is actually showing a year...
