    Interesting .303 MkII round of ammunition

    I purchased 170 rounds of .303 MkII ball ammunition and only one of them had this hollow point nose. I wonder if it is a MkII* or Special as produced by Dum Dum and Woolwich but the E would suggest otherwise. The Woolwich experimental one was a hollow point instead of the exposed lead of the Indian made Dum Dum. The hollow point on this looks like it has been stamped into the nose - hence leaving quite sharp edges. It is very different from the MkIV and MkV hollow points. All opinions are welcome.
