Here are two 2Pr Practice projectiles. One came with a tank case, the other was loose. Both British.
One has the usual flat base but the other has a large plug that will not loosen. Why plug the base of the projetile ? Was it a tracer base?
Flat base weighs 0.804 (1lb 12.3oz) and is 154.5mm long. I can read BS P.
Plug base weighs 0.782 kg (1lb 11.5oz) and is 155.5mm long and I can read 4/45, so both are almost the same.
Are these projectiles for both Vickers and Tank cases or just the tank case ?
