Union Metallic Cartridge company. Now Remington. I'm guessing turn of the century or so since they felt the need to put smokeless on it. Prior to that it would have used Black powder.

Hey Jim, the round I found is 30 06. I believe it may be a match round or a experimental. Do you have anyone that can run the head stamp FA 12 08 for me? It has two dots also in the head stamp. I think we are gonna have to go back to that spot these rounds are fairly old. ty in advance if anyone knows what I have found.
