So can you tell me anything about this round?

Harry, I notice you haven't got this one....and there doesn't seem to be many you don't have :)

Harry sorry to be a pain but could you possibly take a picture of the base of a HE fuzed round and the base of a practice round side by side to show the differences..thanks spotter
 
Hi Richard
Was hoping to get one a few weeks ago but no luck the deal fell through, i do have a few spare rounds if you would like to expand your collection?
Harry
 
Fantastic harry just what was needed. thank you .........Fuzed on the Left Practice on the Right
 
Hello together! I'm new in BOCN. I'm not really an ammunition collector, nevertheless I have two questions about the 120mm shell figures:
1.) What is the filling of the PRACTICE items SH L32A5 and SH L32A6? I can't find an appropriate translation for FILLING HES.
2.) What is the function of the LEAD SHOT? To give the shell the right weight?

Hello Paul, thanks a lot for your quick reply! Does that mean, that these projectiles are explosive too, but with lower intensity? Or do I misunderstand „High Explosive Substitute“. I thought, PRACTICE items are inert. They don't have a fuze.

Practice does not indicate an item is inert/safe they can also have tracers,spotting charges etc
