What you got is a short range cartridge and it is most likely produced at Nammo. I will check mine after work to day to se if there is any markings on those I got. They comes in 308, 30-06 and 50 cal.

Many thanks Freaky,
It looks like I may also have a blank .30-06 made buy the same firm,red plastic.
Am I correct in thinking red was for easy id for blanks and blue for short range?
Cheers

That is correct. Red is for blank and blue is for short range. Those both come from same factory. Now the Norwegian army has also started to use black for blanks to.
