bigger than 30.06 by that much

Okay I need a little help.

A guy I work with bought a beauty of an M1 Garande several months ago, then went on the hunt for some bulk ammo to shoot and finally gets a deal on 400 rounds of 30.06. Well, he gets his order and well the bullets are just a tad too long! They wont chamber properly.

The casing even looks slightly different and has the markings of H X P 77. My google fu says they are a Greek variant with some mixed reviews.

Any idea what this is and what it is for? He wants to send it back but I guess the place he ordered from says it is 30.06 and all sales are final.

And of course since I was SF I must know about every bullet and variation ever made so he came to me! I told 'em I was freaking Charlie and my Bravos didn't want me to handle any guns! HAHAHA
