[shrek]

It's some sort of training round isn't it?

[FozzieBear]

well i'm pretty sure it has a copper projectile as theres some oxygenating around the edge (whatever you call it ;)) i was just wondering what kind of caliber it was and what weapon it might be used in....

[REMOV]

Probably British .303 (7,7mm x 56 Lee-Enfield) or 7,62mm x 54R (Russian). Rimmed.

well i have been looking at rusky ammo and it doesnt seem like that, i looked at the 303 enfield ammo, and that was the closest sept for the punchings in the casing but thats probably because its a blank :), so i think 303 enfield it is :) thanks fer yer help.

Its definitely a 303 inert drill round.
I used them as a young cadet.

"Assembled to look and feel like real ammunition, but actually inert, non-firing cartridges. The purpose of the drill round was to provide a realistic training aid. Which enabled the recruit to practice magazine loading and chambering/ejecting of rounds, without the fear of an accidental discharge of the weapon.

Most commonly identified by their indented cases, red paint and the absence of a primer. "

Grooves along the side of the case, it's definitely a dummy round.
