Found this old .30.06 round in an old army campsite from the Mexican Revolution/World War I.

According to this thing I found online (cant remember where), the casings with the line around the top, near the mouth of the casing, means that it was a blank round used for training purposes. And apparently these rounds never had bullets. Is that right?

Someone else once told me that the .30 cal bullets with the line at the top were meant for use in a machine gun, and that 30 cal bullets without the line were meant to be used in rifles. But I dont think this is correct.

Nice work, thank you. It does appear to be a blank round, according to McPheeters.
