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......
They have all sorts of info.
Cartridge, Caliber .38, Ball M41 was a lower pressure load introduced in the mid-50's and has been stated was to accommodate the lightweight aircrew handguns which were originally equipped with aluminum cylinders.
Cartridge, Caliber .38 Ball, Special, M41 was a slightly higher pressure loading which came out in the early 60's after those aluminum cylindered guns were no longer being issued.
Each of these rounds appear the same and can only be identified by nomenclature markings on their containers or in some cases the year on their headstamping. Overlapping did occur.
Caliber .38 Special, Ball, High Velocity was a +P level loading. This was a USAF-only round introduced in the mid-70's for use in what was their standard issue handgun at that time, the S&W M15.
In addition to the change in nomenclature, each container of this ammunition is also marked with the designation PGU-12/B. The rounds themselves are also easily identified by their elongated case which is crimped up over the ogive of the bullet, with not much more than the tip of it's FMJ bullet visible.

So, if your lot is earlier, corrosive. Later, Non corrosive. Headsatmped FA 55 and later is a total guarantee of non corrosive FA .45 ball M1911 ammo. Hope I helped. Joe
