Thanks but i think theres more to it, i have quite a few inspectors rounds without flash holes, but never one without an extraction groove? it has been suggested its a test cartridge for machinery production? who knows, like you say mate, it could simply be an unfinished cartridge
cheers

Brian,
I think that as it has a headstamp, it is a finished case - the stamping comes at the end of the brass drawing process. Having said that, I don't know what it is. The rim is extremely slight, almost non-existant. Differing so much from a standard 7.62 is unusual, but I would agree it probably is some kind of inspection/drill round.
