French 30-06 identification?

Hi guys

Can anyone tell me exactly what this is?
Is it M2 BALL? Corrisive or not?

Here's a place to start. Corrosive.

Need ID on French Rifle Round

I recently got a query on the following round with a clearly French headstamp from the 50’s TE 58 D 3. The measurements are given to me as follows: Without checking, no time for the next week, this sounds too big to be a 7.5 French. Any ideas??? Cheers, Lew

Google Translate is your friend.

"Adopted under the name 7.62 mm Long Mle 49 this ammunition is intended for Garand, US 17, Springfield 1903 rifles as well as FM BAR and Browning Mle 1919 machine guns used by France."

Corrosive and not a lot of positive things said about it on the CMP board. I wouldn’t put any through my Garand. Maybe a bolt gun….

I think it was really good passing drop tests, though.
