I am looking for details and illustrations of a couple of 6 pr HE projectiles:
The first one is the 6 pr 7 cwt (57x441R) HE shell used in the naval Molins autoloader. This used a 2.7 kg shell (loaded to a much lower velocity) compared with c.3 kg for the tank gun HE round.
The second is the shell used during WW2 in the old 6 pr 8 cwt naval gun, which was fitted to a number of small naval craft.
Thanks for any help.
