The box contains 48 cartridges. I expected a number multiplied by 5. Why 48?

Because that's the number the box held...and those boxes fit in the existing wooden chest, which in turn fit and already existing size container... There are complete threads here about this particular subject.

15 rounder
Here is the 15 round packet with the correct period chargers with 2 - 215gn clips the other is CAC WWI early spitzers as a scale to show there is no room for a 4th charger clip of ammo I feel really bad about the stuff up with the 1912 packet......

I should say it is issue ammo being designated 303 G Mk VIIZ Tracer as I feel that ink between the numbers and ball look like a G then it may be a B MK VIIZ which makes it incendiary round I am going to stick to the trace more picks of a better stamped box will do and if it is all trace me personally I would buy then as a collection but thats just me others may differ entirely good score though Source Dave Cushmans Headstamps I have been known to have the odd curve ball
