    During a recent episode of "The Lost Gold of WW2", while looking for hidden gold on an island off the Philippines they found a rimmed cartridge case, obviously fired, as it was only the case. They were really scratching their heads on whether it was WW2 American or Japaneseicon. As soon as I saw it I knew that it wasn't WW2 American, because it was rimmed, and I assumed that it must be Britishicon .303 or Japanese. After some research they discovered that it was actually a pre WW2 US Kragicon case.

    Looking online it appears that the Krag round is dimensionally very similar to .303 British but fractionally different.
