What did I find ?

[Sandhog308]

I will preface this thread by saying these AREN’T for sale , just researching what I found in my stash. Found 500 rounds , no clue when or where I acquired them.
Know they were manufactured by Fabrique National , thinking they are 30.06 ? Have no idea if they are corrosive or non corrosive ? Only 30.06 I own is a Garand in great condition, not going to shoot them through it regardless.
Anyone familiar with these ?

What's the headstamp look like?

Has a F & N spaced apart ….and 57
figure that means Fabrique Nationale
manufactured in 57
Came in a odd shaped Ammo Can , no writing on it.
Thanks

Thanks , I have a friend with a Handicap Rifle in 30.06. May shoot a few , hopefully…through it ?

Pretty sure anything pre 58 headstamp should be considered corrosive.

Pen cross out marks means the powder is from 55 and it has been relabeled 57.
