see the attached photos of a round that I picked up today. The round is a normal .30 Springfield with the headstamp reading 'W.R.A.Co 30 G. 1903'.
I am uncertain whether the G stands for gallery practice or Guard (or both). But it is the bullet that puzzles me as I thought these would be lead bullets not a round nosed FMJ. It is possible that someone has swopped bullets at some point of course. Anyone any thoughts?
And is the '1903' date the actual date or the model number?
many thanks
Dave
