I’ve got an old baby wipe box that’s half full of these. I don’t know what they are and a cursory google search didn’t yield any results. Any help would be appreciated. All head stamps look like this:
Just spitballing here.
Portuguese .308 (or 7.62 NATO), or 30-06 ??????
Portuguese .308 (or 7.62 NATO), or 30-06 ??????
It could be Port 8x57 also . seeing the whole case would tell the tale
Could be military with the crimped in primers?
portuguese 7.62 x51 surplus ammo
8mm Mauser seems about right.

8x57 mil-surp
If you don't shoot / reload 8x57 and do shoot / reload .308, need brass AND don't mind dealing with cramped primers; they can be reformed and trimmed.
Or just throw them in the scrap bucket.

Fabrique National, Portugal or Mexico I think the numbers are manufacture dates.
