SO... now that we are on the .303 topic

[MissingSomething]

Here is one I dug up after Tony's 160 projo find...

Nice E. 1918 VII A.A. marked .303

Copper looking tip.... different from what the books picture... Pomeroy?

No neck staking or crimp present.

Hi MissingSomething,
A A prefix denotes a P.S.A MkII load(Anti Aircraft/Airship).

Nice find

Pomeroy

Sorry to disappoint you, but that is a post war copper tipped hunting load.

After Kynoch, Eley, Nobels and the other ammunition companies joined to form Explosive Trades Ltd in 1919 surplus cases were used for commercial loads. I have similar rounds loaded on the VIIAA and also VIIB (Buckingham) headstamps.

Never the less, a nice headstamp.

Regards
TonyE

Thanks for confirming that Tony... was kinda thinking that because of the different tip :tinysmile_cry_t:

Made me dig in my .303 collection though :wink:
