more 6pr

Can I add 6pr 10cwt as 57x461R tapered case brass, this was a WWII era anti shipping round used in twin mount, again more info in Hoggs book.

Another question on the 6pr6cwt.

Was it belt fed, clip fed or loaded on its own?

According to Hogg, there was a hand-filled 8-round hopper behind the gun.

Just adding in a few more photos of one of my favourite rounds. Whenever I see these I tend to hoover them up..........they're breeding..............they all seem to have different markings too!
All INERT etc.
