It is headstamped R.A and 1951, Im guessing remington arms and clearly the year lol

The catridge seems to be the same size as the 30-06 to the left and the bullet the same as the 7.62x51 nato to the right

Could this have been just a mix up when making inert of the rounds?

or is this just a round I dont know of

Any help would be great thanks
 
It is a Norwegian 7.62x63mm (.30-06) drill round Made by Raufoss Ammunisjonsfabrikker.

The overall length looks correct. The other .30-06 on the left looks like the proj. has been re-seated too deep.
