Chamber fluting

i was asked to reload some 30-06 ammo for a coworker. while resizing five cases (federal headstamps) got severely hard to resize. when i made a closer inspection they appeared to me to have been fired in a fluted chamber(evenly spaced raised places running along the case almost to the shoulder). this got me to wondering what gun they were fired in. it has to be a military gun of some sort. did the garands have fluted chambers , i wouldn't thinks so? maybe a BAR or one of the browning belf fed machine guns of WWI or WWII ? help me out its going to drive me crazy till i know. thanks

There is one rare sporting model, ( 940 ) that was chambered for 30-06, it was last imported in the 80's. That's the only 30-06 I can think of with a fluted chamber?

Aren't some machine gun chambers fluted?
This might explain the 30-06 caliber.

I am not so young and much wiser....no kiddin.
If ANYTHING happens..A N Y T H I N G...Their friendly wife/mom/dad/sis/etc. that just loves you to death will change before your eyes if their loved one has a firearm mis-hap and has your hand-loads. It won't matter a grain of bullseye that the ammo had nothing to do with it. You won't have a primer to pee on when the lyers get done.
Let them use your loadin gear if you MUST....even that can haunt you.
yep, its a crappy deal.
