What do I have here? Danish wood-tipped 303...
I saw these the other week and couldn't resist them. It's 100 rounds of .303 Brit with softwood (thumbnail test) bullets
The label appears to say that they come from a Danish manufacturer and has a 1947 date, plus two rubber stamped dates - 5 Sep 1950 and 11 Sep 1950.
The two dozen or so cartridges that I've examined have a mix of headstamps - RG, U, DAG (or possibly DAC), CP and MO (or poss MJ) and dates from 1940 through 1945 in both 4 and 2 digit format. All the brass I've inspected was wartime production and all had an * stamped (actually over-stamped, it looked like).
There's definitely some kind of propellant inside and, while I haven't pulled a bullet yet, I assume it's cordite as I can hear it rattle.
Google offers a number of possibilities, including training ammo, grenade launcher rounds etc. But I hoped one of the experts here might be able to be a bit more enlightening.
