    Arrow Does anyone know what this stuff is?

    Note: This thread was created and posted on behalf of a member who emailed the content to us, but wishes to remain anonymous. Feedback and comments are welcome.

    This is the experimental trial ammunition for the Britishicon EM-2 (Rifle No9MkI) and experimental FN carbines (CAMP ect) which evolved into the Belgian FN-FAL

    From what I understand this is the .280/30 (.284”, 140gr mild steel core ball) .

    Salmon Pink tip 140 grain Mild Steel core “Type C” bullet

    Headstamped “RG” (Radway Green) “49” (1949) “280/30” (280 cal bullet, 30 cal base case)

    I took pictures of the markings on both sides and top of the case, internal packaging.
