Weird 30-06 case, grooved?

This is some sort of steel case Berdan primed surplus, nothing unusual about that.

However I found five of these at the range today and for the life of me I cannot figure out what this deep groove is or what rifle was used.

Same here Chris.

I have never seen that sort of case before either.

Would not be interested in reloading those cases, even if they were boxer primed.

I sure do hope someone will come along with an explanation for this one!

chris in va,

I opened the "click for photos", thinking it was a link to photos of your weird cases, window in your posting and was directed to a site called, "pcspeeduppro" then my computer malware detected a threat from this site and blocked it.

What's up?
 
Last summer, I found one of these cases at a range. I posted a thread asking for identification but received no help. No one recognized the case. If the groove is for linking then that explains what it is.

That's odd, it's just my photobucket picture. Let me try to fix it.
 
I clicked in Chris' second link and got the SG ad for Golden Bear, complete with groove. Maybe someone was going to make a semi-auto replica of a link belt MG, maybe Izvetzia Baikel flopdoodle whatever. Price is right, odd bullet size. If it's Russian, make sure it's 308.
 
I am going to wave a preliminary BS flag on the "linking" thing. A 1919 belt is nowhere near that groove.

Are there any other belt fed .30-06 machine guns common enough to justify a special groove in the ammo?
