.303 British Surplus Ammo

[GeeRam]

I recently acquired a few rounds of WWII .303 which was from local a Resistance cache; dating from a drop in 1944.
50 rounds in clips in the original bandolier and a few extra clips.

Cinders, I do not have an original Dum Dum cartridge, quite rare, the Dum Dum has the D headstamp as Indian cartridges did not include the mark number during
this time period. The Dum Dum also had an exposed lead tip like a soft point hunting bullet.

The Mark 11 C, D^C 1V and D^C V all had nickel jacket hollow point bullets at 215 grs from my photo

[30Three]

I also have a box of these. 1941 manufactured by Winchester for synchronised guns.
However I'm not sure why they would be supplied in a box of 20?

That's what I have.

I didn't know that.

They just broke the boxes down and linked the ammo up in the particular form the pilot wanted or the mission called for. It's just how ammo was shipped.
