For the Bullet Experts

[Bigcypresshunter]

This may be an easy one for Monty and the bullet experts. It appears to be a 30-06 but I cant read the markings. It appears to say NORM Re. I may be missing some letters. Found where I work in a area used from 1920 - present. Is it Remington? How old?

Its "Norma" product of Sweden.....a slightly more modern producer of ammunition.
Go ahead an rub it clean....or brass brush it. Not really a collectible..per say.

Ah thanks. I see the A. I knew it was worthless, just trying to date it. What does the Re stand for?

I believe when Norma began exporting ammunition components to the U.S. in the 50's the boxer primed shell casings were stamped Norma Re....for reloadable. The Military cartridges were stamped Norma N.....non-reloadable...usually berdan primed. (two flash holes). That said...I'd wager sometime in the 50's and later.
Its pretty heavily corroded....salt water...septic pit?

Hunters casing. 50's-60's sounds about right. There wouldnt be any shooting allowed at the entrance to this National Park after that. Im calling it solved.

A little late, but I think it is stamped 30.06? Monty
