Re: ID this cartridge
I'm sure this is a case of a factory worker taking it out of the prosess and having some fun.
The only thing you can possibly use it for is as a uncomfortably extracted TPL gauge. Other than that its a cool braai room ornament

Re: ID this cartridge
Yea, that's not a cartridge, it's a doppie that fell off of the production line.

Re: ID this cartridge
Generally machined in.
Stages of life of a PMP 7.62x51mm case.
Stamped out of a brass sheet, the cup gets extruded a couple of times.
Primer pocket and base swaged IIRC
Base gets flattened, shoulder is formed.
Rim and trim.
Mine has a different headstamp, and the flash holes seems to be made before the head stamping on mine, but that may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Re: ID this cartridge
Kayback, thanks for the info and pictures.
