    5/16 caliber translates to 8mm, 8mm Lebel comes to mind, but I am not sure of the Lebel round's length.

        Sure looks like it, and plenty of 54r surplus has no obvious markings.

        Dred, does the headstamp resemble any of these? Any leftover paint around the tip?

          Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

            There is no headstamp, and no leftover paint...some of the stamps in the link look pretty subtle, but I'd be surprised if I missed them...

            Anyways...was just curious...thanks for the replies...

              I'd put money on 7.62x54r. I get those things mixed up with my 303 all the time if I'm not careful. Almost as bad as 308 and 30-06.
              Wish I was rich instead of so damn good looking.

                Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.

                  Its 7.62x54r. Its not flaring out enough to be 8mm lebel.
                  Everyone on Calguns keeps talking about TDS. I never knew we had so many fish keepers!

                  The TDS on my 10gallon tanks 110ppm
                  The TDS on my 29 gallon tank is 150ppm (due to substrate)
