Bullets, anyone?

[Skillets]

Hello Fellow Hunters, I found these bullets near an old homesite and was wondering if anyone finds them intriguing in any way? Are these ordinary, somewhat modern bullets, or something unique? Varying degrees of flash used...

If anyone can offer me any info on these bullets, I thank you in advance.

HH,
Skillets

The 3 bullets (second & third pics) really look like 7.62mm blank rounds... military issue.

What size are they?

What's the headstamp say on them?

The one 'taint a bullet. Or a cartridge, even. That the base to a 10 ga. Peters shotshell. Peters merged with Remington some time back (like just pre-WWII). So I'd venture a guess yours is 1930's or 1940's. Might be as late as the 1960's (depending what the onscured word is to the lower left of the base.

Jim's right on the cases. Those appear to be Vietnam to present .308 NATO blanks.

Blanks are used at military funerals for the six gun salute, and often given to the family after.
Now 7.62 could be either 30-06 or 308. The M1 (1932) shoots the 30-06 and the M14/15 (1958) shoots the 308. The M14 is still in limited use today.

Thank you guys, you are fast!

Charlie, the obscured word is "Target"....so it says "Peters Target" and yes indeed a #10. Thanks also for the additional info you provided.

Jim, as far as I can tell, the headstamp says 6 7 8 9 on it, but not in order, they're stamped on it left, right, top, bottom style. And they are 2.5 inches long.

Thank you again guys.

Yes... true enough... used in many weapons.

I'm thinking, if you look again... the charactors might be L C 8 9 (1989)
