    Long Range 30 caliber AMU cartridges from 1960.

    During the late 1950's, the US Army Marksmanship Training Unit at Ft Benning, tested some high capacity, long range cartridges. These included the wildcat Ackley Imp 300 magnum,
    and a close variation was selected. Early cases made by Remington had the H&H MAG deleted on the headstamp while Winchester used the WCC 60 headstamp. I believe Winchester
    Model 70 rifles were used. Some loads used 197 gr bullets while other used 200 gr bullets. These cartridges were tested for a period but dropped for the 30-338 case

    I'm not really a big ammo collector, but those are cool.
