Can any help me identify a 30.06 cartridge with headstamp as follows:"IM" at 12 o'clock, "30" at 3 and 9 oclock and "65" at 6 o'clock. Thank you.

  I found one reference to a headstamp with a "IM" marking.
  
  It's a military arsenal in Colombia. In Spanish it's "Industria Militar".

  The "65" should be year produced, the "30" implication is caliber (obvious) Not sure on the "IM". Maybe (something)-Metallic or (something)-Match. International Match, perhaps? I'm sure someone will know that one. My books do not show an "IM" headstamp.
  
  It's easy to spot liberals-they are the ones who have no assets to protect and need every handout they can get. They have forbeyed themselves ascendence to a productive lifestyle.

  Rufe-snow has the right answer.
  
  If you want to look it up for yourself go to the link below then click on "I" at the top of the page:
  
  http://cartridgecollectors.org/headstampcodes.htm
  
  It will say: "IM" - Industria Militar, Bogota, Colombia

  Right after WWII, the Columbian Military was equipped with Danish Madsen bolt-action rifles in caliber .30-06.
