9mm Drill rounds

[chrismetallica1]

Hi All,
Just looking for a little info if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have recently started collecting 9mm drill rounds and other drill rounds in variouse calibres. Does anyone know a book or website with a list or information on drill rounds.

Regards

Drill rounds

There is no book that deals with drill rounds per se. British drill rounds are dealt with in Peter Labbbet's books, ".303" and "British Military Ammunition", and other books deal with specific calibres.

Collecting drill rounds is a vast enterprise as there are so many variations. It is really a cae of reading everything that you can and picking up information from various posts on forums like this.

Attached are a few British and Commonwealth 9mm drill rounds. If you want to see more British rounds in other calibres just say so.

Picture 1 Various British D Mark I and D Mark 2
Picture 2 British D Mark 2 variations
Picture 3 Australian
Picture 4 British Inspectors U Mark I
Picture 5 Canadian
Picture 6 Winchester British contract drill
