FNM is a headstamp used by 2 different ammunition producers; Fabrica National de Municiones in Mexico and Fabrica Nacional de Municoes e Armas Legiras, Moscavode, Portugal.

My guess is that the cartridges cases are military .30-06 ammunition made in Mexico in 1958. What the loads might be is anybody's guess.

The cartridge cases might be 7.62 NATO, but 1958 is pretty early for that.
