Just came home from the gun range, or what passes for it, and found some non fired shells on the ground and I think they are marked U 1943 on the shell rim, and looks like a rimless Russianicon shell, with the bullet 175 grains, FMJ, .311 in diameter, and when I pulled the bullets, the powder wasn't powder, but stick type, is this chordite?? It burned slowly, and was separated from the bullet by a piece of paper. Is this typical for Russian type shells? Very different that modern stuff. Duggaboy
