Without actualy seeing the case I'm 99% certain it's the 22/30-Carbine. But why is someone leaving the brass on the ground? Sounds like somebody inherited the gun and a bunch of rounds for it and dosen't know that they'll have to make thier own brass when all that loaded ammo is gone. My only other guess would be some Soviet 5.45mm that happens to have a head-stamp that looks sorta like LC 53, but that stuff is usualy steel cased with a laquer coating.
