Greetings
Can anyone shed some light on this 40x311SR cartridge please?
Any information welcome
Thanks very much

I would say for german projectiles HE-T DM71 (fuzed DM61), APC-T DM43A1 and practice DM78 (fuzed Ex AZ DM80) probably.

So just to clarify ... this is post-WW2 ?
The headstamp looks that way in spite of the " 43 "
Thanks

For sure its post WW II DN - Diehl Nürnberg and the case model DM 5 are the give away

Thanks very much
