    Tinned cartridges question.

    So the image I posted was what the cartridges looked like after they came off of the production line in the late 1900s? I have a number of almost as old Kragicon cartridges but they appear to be brass. Isn't tin greyish?:

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Not all were tinned. Tinned did pretty much go with "reloaded." I don't expect consistency from them and I'm rarely disappointed.
