    On the right side of Australia, below the middle and a little bit in from the edge.

    That is a very big win! When you get around to cracking them, pay attention to the chargers they are loaded in. Quite a few of these older crates of HXP have been found to have old Britishicon chargers of WW1 vintage, which are collectables themselves.

    You now have a lot of very good reloading brass... just have to empty them out first [COLOR="black"]

    Thanks for the tip Son. Pulled first bandoleer for the range, chargers all Mk 1V's: mix of 'P', 'DS', 'TF&S' and 'B' in a circle. Rounds loaded randomly in chargers, not staggered. This will be my reload stock. Don
