Here is the response from my buddy at IVI (GD OTS Canada) This should clear up the issue:

The reason why your correspondents think it is loaded by us (GD OTS Canada) is because of the IVI stamp on the case. In reality the fired projectile in the picture looks like the NAMMO .50 caliber Reduced Range projectile. It was obviously loaded in Norway in a GD OTS Canada made cartridge case since NAMMO has purchased our cases in the past. Our company name has changed a few times but the IVI code letters (Industry Valcartier Incorporated) continue to identify our small caliber ammunition even though the original IVI facility near Qubec city, dating back to the early 1900’s, closed more than 20 years ago.

So, Nammo has bought IVI cases and loaded their projectiles into them...

Norwegian short range.

EOD is correct :xd:

There is always some explanation!

Well done EOD and MissingSomething,
Thanks for your time and efforts to solve this one and I think you may have also solved an id question from an earlier post with the photo of the blue plastic practice tracer round.
Either of you know what the indentations do,slow the projectile down for practice use?

Yes, they increase drag and make it drop faster. Thet blue plastic TP-T with electric primer was a DAG one.

Attached are pics of Reduced Range 12,7mm rounds I bought at the Landhorst fair last Sept. I know these projectiles and Cases are correct, since I pulled them from the original packing and links. They were both loaded by NAMMO. The round with the plain bullet is a IVI 12.7x99mm RR NM243 and the tracer is a NAMMO 12.7x99mm RR-T NM244.
