Nice haul!! Wish I had a bag of .303 to feed my Longbranch.............

Nice score. AP rounds to boot, a nice convo starter. They sound evil and scary its surprising we're still allowed to own them

Wow, that is amazing! I've never shot the silver tipped ones. Can you even buy those still? It's nice to be nice to your neighbours

Silver coloured jackets are cupronickel.
Armour piercing ammunition will have a W headstamp.

Great story. I was also given a bag of 303's about 350 rounds of the same ammo. It was found in a closet at a friends house when they moved in.
Happy Shooting

Very nice catch

Got me wondering what the links look like for belted WWII .303 as used on aircraft. I assume they look like a small version of todays .50 links

sold

As Tiriaq noted above, the Brits didnt generally use tip colour to ID the bullet type.
Instead they used the headstamp.
W for AP
G for tracer
B for incediary

Along with Roman numerals for model or mark and a Z for nitrocellulose powder.
And perhaps K for Kynoch factory and a year.

So it might read: W II Z K43
