@arrrg@kolektiva.social @Rania@freesewing.social @apenkop@mstdn.social It's a military rifle cartridge, possibly 7.62×51mm NATO. If so that's a substantially more powerful cartridge than used in modern assault rifles, so probably either a Negev light machine gun or sniper. The Israeli Galil assault rifle used to be made in 7.62×51mm, but those ones are probably obsolete. If it's what I think it is, it could be made by any NATO country, and probably quite a lot of non-NATO countries. The equivalent Russian cartridge has a shorter case.
