Markings on the base are "Kynoch 401 S.L."

Turns out to be 401 Winchester Self Loading:

So someone probably was playing with a 1910 a while ago:

These cartridges on your range are sadly the last shipwreck evidence washed up from that rifle. It may already have been "bought back". Good post, but reading it makes you feel sad and angry.
