Is that $15 a box or $15 per cartridge. Seems high for cartridge, low for box.

Per cartridge PLUS an absolutely staggering price for shipping. Since it's live ammo it's subject to the explosives act and only certain carriers here will now carry. They have a monopoly so this simple cartridge could easily cost you $100CDN delivered. I just talked turkey with a guy over a 105mm Leopard case and projectile and he quoted me shipping from two overland couriers of $375CDN and $425CDN on top of $300CDN cost. Canada
Post would cost about $60CDN but he was too lazy to check that out and quit the deal on me. He thought $700/800CDN should be acceptable to a seasoned trader. Live ammo can't go postage, I think you guys are the same. If you read this guy's ad he speaks of "Pulling the bullets to load in .50"...which could be the end of him. We can't own .50 guns anyway.

I'll find one at a gun show. I don't think they are all that rare. Or I'll just pick up a bullet and insert it instead.

I've got 2 x 106mm cases Jim one containing the HEAT round I'm a tad better (Not much but have to move!) so will endeavour to do a few pics of the complete round and disassemble nose showing the copper shaped cup for the round. Be back later......
Later Pics:
#1 - Complete round with projie in the case with MkVII 303 round for scale. (Bottom Left)
#2 - HEAT split showing copper cone.
#3 - Markings on the projectile.

I can't believe he mentions pulling a bullet like that when just by doing so could set it off.

Well, most have no idea. For sure he doesn't know what the far end looks like when they hit. To be fair, I can't say it WOULD happen but there ARE explosive bullets with extra fun involved.
