After the last post, I located three gallery rounds. The longer one may not be, considering it's HP. And, it's 8mm. Maybe for small game hunting. But the other two may be of the same family as the pack of ten.
6.5mm x 55mm Mauser Gallery cartridge
1952 8 X 63
6.72 X 54.9 1949
6.67 X 54.8 1947
'49 and '47 are measured but close enough to 6.5 X 55 to probably be that. R.A. is probably Raufoss Arsenal. I'm smart like that.
The '49 projectile has a wadcutter look about it. '47 semi-wadcutter.
Gallery = target shooting, I would think.
Or even better, a Schützenfest!
