looks like an FN produced 8mm mauser round. better ditch it before the bomb squad gets called on you and all of scotland yard shows up to search your home and blow it up out of an abundance of caution while putting you on a hateful terrorist watchlist

Looks like a 5.56 casing, but it could be some weird hunting round.

Something for scale would be nice. I know at least some people hunt with .223 out of bolt guns in the UK.

A size comparison would definitely help, OP.

It's not to small to be a rifle round. Looks like a .223, but I dunno.

edit nm, definitely a 5.56. your first picture is just so zoomed in it looked bigger to me than it was

>>33770112
FNM headstamp means it was made in Portugal.

FNM is a Portuguese company, this could be 7.62x51nato from some irish terrorist OP. Seconding the scale request.

Some pen I had lying around

>>33770112
The casing shape makes me think that it's some surplus 5.56x45.
If you measure the width of the top where the bullet used to be and the bottom, that'd help a lot to get a definitive answer.
I'm at work, but I've got a round of 556 here and a ruler.

>>33770228
What the fuck man... Put it next to like a ruler or cup or something that is uniform not some weird pen you got for free with the purchase of your favorite flavor lube.

>>33770228
Definitely 7.62 nato, made in Portugal.

that is 7.62X51 Nato, made in 1982, by Fábrica Nacional de Munições de Armas Ligeiras out of Portugal.

Identified by the FMH. And that it is Berdan, three star crimp with no primer sealant visible.

Portuguese 5.56. It's missing the proof mark though so I'm willing to bet it's from after they went out of business and were sold apart.

For you Brit, im 95% sure its a .223
Its just a less hot version from the 1960's
Same dimensions as the 5.56mm

So what are they used in?

>>33770405
It is the standard NATO round and popular for hunting as well, possibly the most common rifle round that exists right now.
