Oh, I didn't know the commies made .303....wasn't that factory near Stalingrad?? Sorry, could not resist - I have my "silly bugger" hat on today (maybe because someone wants to give me a couple of thousand rounds of .303 for free?)

Iraqi........ The trouble is that you just don't know how its been stored. Underground and it's OK but above ground, at extremes of temperature, it's horrid. We used some 9mm in a couple of L34 Sterling SMG's and it bulged both barrels.

I gave that gentleman 5 new headstamps and he gave me photo credits. Good show.
