If you can't read the headstamp - "IVI" "circle with a plus sign in it" and various numbers - 68, 69, 74, 78.... It is boxer primed.

8mm Kurz?
I have IVI 7.62x51 that has that headstamp, but that sure looks odd in the picture.
He can't shoot like that with a stock Savage and a Bushnell scope
It's Canadian Military 7.62x51 brass that a handloader has formed into a wildcat calibre. It's difficult to scale from the photo, but it could be one of the high pressure wildcats for a Colt 1911, or it could be for one of the Automags. Or I could be wrong. I expect one of the trolls will stop by any minute and tear me a new one.
In my favorite dream I'm on the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Rosie O'Donnell is also on spouting some dumb s**t. So I swing a large Northern Pike like a bat and smack her right in the fat yap. Debbie Travis and Sarah Palin coo seductively. Johnny and Ed high five me. The audience gives me a rousing standing ovation. Later we pick up Dean and Jerry and head over to Hef's.
7.62x25?
It's only half as long as a 7.62x51
Originally NATO spec mfg'd at the Valcartier QC plant in whatever year is indicated on the headstamp.
308x1.5 Barnes?
If the cases are 33mm long and take an 8mm bullet, then the Canadian 7.62x51 brass has been formed for 7.92x33 German service, as used in the MP44/STG44.
Or, they could be for a wildcat. There was a .30 version of the 7.92x33.
Its an IVI 5.56 converted into a 7.62x25.
The diameter appears to be the same as a 308 Win. We are starting to think that this is a wildcat.Originally Posted by CUF
