Can I add 6pr 10cwt as 57x461R tapered case brass, this was a WWII era anti shipping round used in twin mount, again more info in Hoggs book.
 
Just a photo to show the 3 cases.

Another question on the 6pr6cwt.

Was it belt fed, clip fed or loaded on its own?

Dave.
 
Just adding in a few more photos of one of my favourite rounds. Whenever I see these I tend to hoover them up..........they're breeding..............they all seem to have different markings too!
All INERT etc.
Dave.
