Nice round

And a very nice round too Caracal.

Is it a legal requirement for a hole to be drilled in the side of the case as that is a needless and risky operation given that the primer screws in???

there is no real law about collecting ammunition in my country, but there is a text that indicate if there are signs showing the round is inert, they can pass by.

The case has to have a minimum 3mm hole, and the primer has to be hit.

But the text indicate too that the proj has to be drilled too, and i can say i have never seen one with an hole!

France is a very nice country, but a nightmare for the ordnance collector.

Fair enough!

Thanks for the information Caracal-why drill a hole when the Fuze/Primer can easily be unscrewed I wonder-none the less a nice item.
