HONOURED MEMBER RIP
Trying to keep up with the current proliferation of "L" numbers for 5.56 and 7.72mm ammunition in British service is a full time job. Now that we buy so many complete rounds and components from abroad it seems a new L number is allocated to every change of powder or primer supplier.
I have the following, and would be interested if anyone has any other types. I have only listed ball, tracer and blank.
5.56mm Ball
L2A1 RG
L2A2 RG
L7A1 HP (not heastamped with L number)
L15A1 RG
L17A1 RG (I only have fired case, need a complete round)
L17A2 RG
L21A1 RUAG
5.56mm Tracer
L1A1 RG
L1A2 RG
5.56mm blank
L1A1 RG
L1A2 RG
L1A3 RG
L8A1 DAG (not heastamped with L number)

L42A1 RG
L42A3 RG
L44A1 RG
