I suspect that the "08" is the date and not relevant to the cartridge designation.....

I'm suspecting it's a .30-06 case made in 2008

I believe it is 30.06 brass made in Fabrique Nationale Herstal, Herstal, Belgium. Year of manufacture 1980.


Anything worth doing is worth doing right the first time.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.
