smleenfield Posted 3 October , 2012 Share Posted 3 October , 2012 This is a modern training blank. Looks like it may be 30-06 or 8MM. Check the headstamp and post if it is readable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyE Posted 3 October , 2012 Share Posted 3 October , 2012 It is either German made by Dynamit AG or is made under licence in Turkey. I agree it looks like it is 30-06, but measure it from the point where the "bullet" joins the case to the base. If 57mm it is 7.92x57mm or if 62mm it is 30-06.

smleenfield Posted 3 October , 2012 Share Posted 3 October , 2012 I down loaded the photo and then scaled it down to where the base was the right size and placed a 30-06 and 8MM round next to it. Matched 30-06 perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
