The initial pic and posting for the .303 were placed under the CARTRIDGES section. My bad. I'm sorry. Correct section posting below.
So, back to the .303 Inspection round, I read up on it and, bdgreen ID'd it exactly. "Australian made inspection round since " MG "= Small Arms Ammunition Factory No. 2 Footscray, Australia"
Here's a side shot of it:
And the orig. h/s shot:
I have a half dozen of the following, what I have labeled as 8mm, but who knows. There is no h/s or other marking. The silver metal base is pinned to the brass colored shell. Anybody have an idea what it really is? Didn't have a mike with me at pic taking time, so no specs.
The gunshop workbench at this time.
Starting to go through the 40+ year accumulation. These are the oddball rounds, mostly. Homemade fantasy rounds and the like. There is no order to any of it, so I just pick out what's odd to the lot in a particular container(cigar/tool/tackle boxes). I'm sure I'll be running across a few more oddities as I dig and will be posting some for ID.
