Hi Fellows!

What caliber is this and who is the maker?

Thank you guys!

Mostly an Austrian round produced by Georg Roth A.G. Wien. It might be an 8x52 R Mannlicher mod. 1888-90. The dot might mean it had been reloaded.

What do you think is this an hunting or military ammo?

I'd say it is military ammo. The kind of cross is typical in Austro-Hungarian period ammo and seen in former countries of the empire for a while.
