    ID carbine ammo

    I received 10 boxes of carbine ammo from a friend. The outside of the box is marked oxyless 50 cart. 30 carbine Ordinaires ball. The cartridges are marked FN with a star on the bottom. Can anyone ID it? Is it corrosive? No dates on it.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    FN is Fabrique Nationale of Belgiumicon.
    Not sure of date or being corrosive.
