Title: Given some 25-06 Nosler ammunition
Post by: hrd2fnd on September 04, 2014, 08:07:57 PM: I was presented with 57 Nosler rounds in which I have no need for. As the labeling on the plastic holder states the following.

25-06
Nosler Balco
1MR4831
3400
Casings shows stamped DEN 42

Now I can guess the 3400 means fps, but no idea about 1MR4831.
There is also 20 rounds 25-06 117 grains factory primer in Rem FC casings. Can I assume these are reloads? :dunno:

The headstamp on the cases "DEN 42," my guess is that they are military 30/06 cases, probably made in Denver in 1942.
