Hi,
I have this ADEN round which has stamped `inert filled` on the projectile.
Where is it used for, what makes it different than a standard TP round and what is used for the filling?
Not sure about Aden but Rardens are filled with sodium bicarbonate to imitate the weight of an explosive filling hence a truer line of flight when firing. Also the instructional Rardens are filled with the same. As it's yellow and not blue, my guess is it is an Instructional round?!
Thanks for the answers so far. Are there collectors who have a similar round in their collection? On this moment I`ll say it is a dummy/ instruction round.

They are considered as 'practice rounds' , as they do have a powder filled cartridge.
The Belgian Army used them in 'real conditions' practice exercices.
The overprint 'inert filled' refers only to the projectile charge, not to the entire cartridge, and was used to make a distinction between the TP and normal HE round.
