So, I bought a box of assorted stuff at an auction, as there was a couple items in the box I wanted. In it there was a small box with several cartridges in it. I would like to know what they are.
The head stamp looks like this.... marks from the primer to the edge divide the head into 1/4s. On the left side is 19 and on the right side of the primer is 40. Above is a little figure of a creature with 4 legs on the bottom and a big tail on the right side and two arms and a head on the left side. Could be a "dragon". on the bottom is a BO with a slash down the middle of the O (a letter from a East european alphabet??)
The cartridge does not look like regular brass but has a kind of reddish coloration. The bullet is silver coloured and FMJ. The shoulder seems abnormally long. Except for the long sloping shoulder I might say it looks close to a .308 case.
I suppose I could take some measurements and I could try and get a good picture of the head stamp to post up but any ideas?
