The Nat Ctg rounds were converted in the 20s from surplus Dominion Arsenal .303" MkVI ctgs by removing the front part of the FMJ and swaging the exposed lead to make a SP. They gave great problems due to the jacket being left in the bore when the core blew through.

They should have just turned them around.
