I am hunting for some information concerning British 6-pounder HE shells in service in WW2. I am mainly interested in the 6 pdr 7 cwt (including naval Molins) and 6 pdr 10 cwt ammunition. What I would like to know is:
1. The designations of the HE projectiles
2. Which cases they were loaded into
3. The weight of the projectiles, plus the weight of HE they contained.
The only one I have a note of (in this article: http://quarryhs.co.uk/Molins.htm ) is the Mk 10T which weighed around 3 kg, but that's all I know about it.
This thread contains some great photos, in which it is clear that there was more than one type in service: http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/71145-Show-your-6-PR-Rounds-(WW1-amp-WW2)
Thanks for any help!
