20-pdr query

Mike C

Member
gents,

I'm interested to find out details of the charge weight and propellant type used in the British 'Cartridge, 20-pdr, Blank, Mk.1', as used in the Centurion tank main armament. I'm also interested in similar details for the 'Cartridge, 20-pdr, High Explosive-Tracer, Mk.3', please.

Appreciate any assistance on this, as I cannot locate anything on the blank, and only details for the HE-T Mk.2/2.

Regards

Mike C
