    Some 303 ammunition (pic heavy)

    I got around to photographing some specimens of my modest collection of 303 ammunition that may be of interest to some members, there are few different headstamps, MkVI's, MkVII's, couple of MKII's I think some early M F ones. Also pictured some of the crimps to show the different types stab V's roll crimping as some members here may not have seen that type before.

    Anyhow hope you enjoy.

    Great collection Cinders - I collect the drill rounds too (pictured are MkIII to D10, plus some 'expedient types' from WW2 era:

    Very best wishes to everyone for Christmas and the New Year - happy collecting and shooting!

    I resist shooting them for three reasons englishman ca ~ 1. They are collectibles and are not being produced anymore 2. They are all mercuric primes and I like to preserve my barrels 3. Their performance would be circumspect.
    I would like to shoot some Tracer but we are not allowed to shoot anything but ball ammo or a reloaded equivalent no monolithic bullets either (CNC brass types).

    Nice transitional mag RCS

    Some very nice looking rounds being posted here good to see the craft is going strong I have just re arranged my bigger stuff and will post some pics after the festivities finish.
    Merry xmas and Happy New Years to all forum members and their families.
