Again found these on the `sort out`:xd:
1st pic
The 303 with the wood `bullet` has headstamp GA AI 53
The blank round is the same as a NATO 7.62/308 but the headstamp is 30-06 SPRG (springfield) winchester. There is no way though this is a 30-06 as the case is too short??!!
Next pics 2 interesting .50 cal cases. Both stencilled `PROOF` the good one has a bad extractor mark to the rim & some dents & headstamp K (kynoch) .50 the primer is barely touched - just a very shallow indent (not enough to fire). The second though is completely trashed - but still the correct length??!! Looks to have burst given the split but the expansion & deformation of the head & rim doesn`t hold up to what Ive seen before.
Any ideas?:tinysmile_kiss_t3:
