Hi forum!

Here are some pics:

case length is around 66.52mm
base diameter 11.85mm
hole diameter 6.27mm
(sizes according to case owner)

on the bottom markings LC 84

Can some one help me out?

Looks like a drill round, or a blank.

Thanks for your time and help. Never thought the "bullet" part of the blank will end up perfectly round. Ehh lack of experience :roll:.
Thanks again, have a good day!

Its a Lake City 7.62x51mm NATO blank round, I believe the nomenclature is M82. On unfired rounds the end looks just like the one in your pictures and is sealed with a reddish substance, unlike 5.56mm blanks which are crimped.
