Need help with cartridge ID

[markm_04]

I have come across some cartridges that I cannot fully identify. I am hoping someone here can help out a little bit. Any information is appreciated. I am in no way a photographer so hopefully the photos are not completely useless.

First two pictures are of the same cartridge and the last two are of the same cartridge.

ME thinks it is time for you to break out your mic's and Calipers and start doing that which identifies them EXACTLY and PRECISELY, TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHERS.
And so it goes...

The first one is an 8x57 Mauser, made in 1944. I couldn't make out the headstamp in the second one.

Hope this helps.

The left one is, indeed, an 8mm Mauser. Collectors believe it was made in Canada for the CIA in the 1950's. The 40 through 45 dates probably equate to 1950 through 1955.

The right one probably is a Swedish 6.5mm Mauser. 87 equates to production year 1987, and 070 equates to the Karlsborg factory. If for domestic use the 070 would be a K. The 070 means it was for export.
