Wildcat ID?

My guess is 7.65x53 Argentine. Here's a link to a pic with the '06 on the left and a 308 on the right of the 7.65: 7.65 Argentine

That looks really close.

That's a great guess! It sure looks like it. Short neck and all

The only difference is the neck. I have it at 6.11. The chart shows 4.37 if I’m reading it right. But that’s not a lot so could account for individual rifle’s throat length no?

I noticed that I don’t know much about reloading ammo but if these are hand cut cases it may be due to the skill of who cut them . I’m not sure about how safe that 1.5 mm would be .

The difference between L3 (53.60) and L2(47.20) is 6.4mm. Close to your 6.11, which is probably over-trimmed.

Ah see, I used the wrong “L’s”. You’re correct. So that has to be it. This was cool.

Now I really wonder why someone would make those and leave them there. They were shot a bunch already I suppose.
