Good evening everyone,
A friend brought some odd 30-06 cartridges to the range a few days ago. We're all at a loss as to what they are or were for. Pics below. The projectile seems to be made of aluminum and has what looks like a short wax plug inside. They're not loaded with powder, but what appears to be cordite. Brass has R-P headstamp, so nothing out of the ordinary. We're just curious, no big deal if no one has seen these before.
Thanks in advance.
Joe.
