My brother was given a large bag(100-150 rounds) of an unknown ammo by a friend. We both have no idea what caliber it is.
It bullet itself looks about 7.62 and the whole cartridge is a bit longer then a 7.62X39. No sizing on the brass, but the head marks reads as such.

What I find odd about this is the color. The brass(?) and the bullet itself, both look like they are copper washed. That thin copper coating put on .22LR. I've never seen this before in any ammo I have shot.
I don't have a set of calipers so my size guesses are at best questionable. I'll be dropping by the local gun store tomorrow and seeing what they think of it.
Forgot to add.
It is not rimmed. It is a rimless cartridge. The Mosin ammo is rimmed.
Will return and report tomorrow.
