[QUOTE="GenXreD, post: 72643, member: 1878"] Interesting, looks like a steel case (cheaper then brass used for military) I think you will find the head stamp is CAC 0.1 not CAG 10 which would be correct it it is a .303 British it looks about the right size in the pics(looks bigger in the original pic) and the .303 was originally designed as a black powder cartridge, I feel that the large firing pin indent is not right for a .303 but it is possible that some one used military surplus ammo in an old ex gov falling block .303. I was wrong with my previous statement there was 2 different 7.62 rounds developed with a rim but both seem to be bigger then what is in the picture, as in they have a larger rim on them, still not 100% sure on it.
