While loading my mags I encountered 10 rounds of ammo mixed in with my AK ammo. Dont know how it got in there. This ammo is 7.62 and has a case 1/4" longer than AK ammo and 1/4" shorter than .308 - 7.62 X 51. Anyone know what caliber it is?
Here is a pic... ?? ammo in the middle. AK on left. .308 on right.

RAIS, M41 .38 Special
WW38 S&IW Western
.45 ACP F.A.937 Looked like two military papers boxes with about 20 round per box.
Thanks

Bullet is Cupro-Nickle
Primers are sealed in red and the bullets are sealed in red also.
Headstamp is TE 57 C 1
I know it is 30-06, want to know where it was made.
According to Cartridges of the World; it is machine gun ammo.
152gr. bullet.
Is the "TE" or "C" the manufacturer?
If the "C" there are 3 possibilities.
1. Creedmore Cartridge Co., Barberton OH
2. Munitionsfabrik Cassel, Cassel, Germany
3. Pirotecnico Dell'Esercito Capua, Capua, Italy
If the "TE" there are 2 possibilities.
1. Cartoucherie de Toulouse, Toulouse, France
2. Toyo Seiki, Ltd., Tokyo, Japan
Just something for the experts to think about.
I know pictures say a thousand words. Can not remember my Picture Trail account[:0]
Thanks JGW

I have about 700 rds of copper colored .308 ammo. It is stamped 61 on the top and 92 on the bottom.
I think it is Chinese made in 92......
This should be a four segment French headstamp. There are other configurations for the headstamp, but I believe based on the information you provided the below is the most likely. The headstamp elements should be configured on the base of the cartridge something like the image below.

Ateliers de Construction, Toulouse France is the manufacturer, therefore, TE is the maker. TE should appear at 9 o'clock on the headstamp. TE was a military cartridge producer and was in operation from 1927 until the late 1980's. Some of their latest headstamps will also contain the Nato symbol.
"C" is the metal supplier and in this case is Compagnie Fran?aise des M?taux, de Castelsarrasin. It should be located at 3 o'clock on the headstamp.
"57" is the year of production and it appears most commonly at 12 o'clock on the headstamp.
"1" is the quarter of the year of production and it will appear at 6 o'clock. Sometimes the caliber is shown at 6 o'clock instead of the quarter.
Hope this helps.

That is the headstamp.
So what I have is the French made 30 06.
I knew someone would know what was what.
Thank you very much.
