    The Greek HXP 303 stuff is most likely from the stuff made for the MOD in the early 1980's for the cadet force who were still using the No.4, so its not even 40 years old.

    If you have a bullet puller it may be worth your while to pull one apart and investigate the innards and propellant. Just costs you one round for peace of mind.
    I have a lot more experience than expertise, still have both eyes and most of my fingers though.
