NOS IVI Imperial .303 Brit

[GunsNotPuns]

Hey all, found this NOS IVI Imperial .303 Brit ammo at an LGS today. Anyone have any information about it? No head stamp pic, my camera sucks at those but all it said was Imperial .303'

Old 80s stuff if I remember the box correctly. There will be date codes on the box flaps telling you when it was made.

Flap 1: A lone number "2"
Flap 2: "78" with 1-12 around it like a clock
Flap 3: "RBC 00021-6"
Flapm4: Blank

Inside one box end there is a rubber stamped "DAGR"

Is it as obvious as 1978?

I just shot some old .308 like that from like the late 70's early 80's that I had kicking around, still worked fine, use to get it at the macleods store $12.98 a box, wish those prices would have stuck around, not sure when they stopped making it.

I've got a box of it from when my dad passed away and I inherited his Enfield, have yet to shoot any of it though. Should still go bang I'd expect.

IVI bought the CIL ammo facility. Quality dropped.
