Vintage .303 cartride question.

[Richard Hare]

Sorry lads, no photos at present, but I have some old ammunition out in the workshop, .303 Mk V11 1934 if I remember right, and some of it has 3 purple (or so it seems ) stripes aroung the case. and some has two black stripes around the case body.
Any ideas what these stripes are about?
I will take photos sometime, but farm stuff just seems to keep me running.

Someone once told me something about "match ammo" but nothing definite and no sources for such. I will look at the manufacturer as I'd be guessing if I said Royal Laborotories, (R.L)

Thanks for any help or leads,

Richard.
