2 Pr Flathead practice

[Gspragge]

Nothing earth shattering, but it seems to have had a screw in tracer unit ?

 

[MINENAZ16]

Maybe the answer here :

This shot is generally similar to the Mark IT, but in lieu of an external tracer, has a cavity in the base containing tracer compostion.
The total weight of shot, including tracer compostion, is 2-lb. 2-oz. 10-dr.

Is there an image of this base of the projectile or drawing ? This one is made by H & B ?
I also picked up this Bofor projectile, no idea what to put in the nose. Cases may be around ?

Cases are available for the Bofors projectile, they will use brass L/70 casings made by Amron (factory code RNO). The fuzes however are near unobtainable, having been incinerated when the project was cancelled. There is solid aluminum replicas around but the original seller no longer makes them so no place to buy them easily.
