.55 Boys Drill

Always had an interest in the .55 Boys, when most range finds consisted of .303, .380 revolver, 7.62mm, .45 ACP, 9mm [both ancient and recent]. The thought of finding a Boys round was the pinnacle in my teenage mind at least :tongue: Actually I did obtain a case when the Basingstoke Canal was restored turning up countless items of interest including a Boys case. Anyway going through my unearthed collection I just discovered a .55 Boys Drill round that I'd forgotten all about. A splendid discovery!
