WILDCARD!!! NICE! As with the last, no idea on this one. Headstamp is: LC 63 MATCH
I'll get it calipered up when I get home.

.284 Win specs:

 

[Wierzbowski]

That headstamp screams 7.62x51, not .284 Winchester. Lake City Ammo Plant.

Yeah, but the .308 Win is directly to its left, and look at how different they are in size. Aren't those 2 cartridges supposed to be *almost* the same?

 

[Wierzbowski]

I see your point. I'd be interested to know if that bullet is a 7mm or 7.62. Maybe it's a wildcat formed from 7.62x51 ala the 7mm-08.
