reedbradshaw Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Heyup Lads. My grandad gave me all these ealier today, before anyone asks....they are all deactivated with primers removed, infact in most of the rounds the bullet can be removed from the casing.

Not looking to sell but value? from left to right; 1 - R.H OeZ 1942 2 - F A 4 3 - no markings 1 - FNM .303 British...Enfield? 2 - H 6 15 S67...looks a little like a .303 round but the bullet is a lot shorter and lighter once removed from the casing. 3 - C.18 F3 2 11A 4 - VINIART. D I 16 I CY 5 - 04 52 As pic, 5.no rounds all together on a "clip" bullet casings read RG 82 *circle with cross in the middle, a little like a recticle* 1 - 458 WIN MAG R . P 2 - WINCHESTER 38 SPL*P 3 - .45 AUTO CBC....could this be the same .45 round from the thompson smg...or was that ACP not CBC? 4 - .357 MAGNUM 5 - .38 SPL MAGNUM 6 - .22 HORNET R.P 7 - no markings Cheers :yp: ps if any further pics are needed, just ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) RG 82 and the nato cross give it away. Does it have a L no. as well like L42A1? The nato cross is exactly that. They are rounds loaded for Nato. RG means the were loaded at Royal Ordnance factory Radway Green and originally loaded in 1982. I would think that they are 144gr 7.62 x 51mm standard Nato rounds. The L no. will probably be L1A1. Radway green Edited February 27, 2009 by MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magus69 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well done Andy you know your carts!!. Just to add, the last round in the third pic (far right) is a .297/230 Morris long. There were 3 variants of this cartridge the short,the long,and the long-long body. Mike... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neels Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 My opinion 2nd pic 2nd from right looks to me like a 7.62x54 as used in the Dragunov and Moisin Nagant (Knew a man once that shot an elephant with one after it stood on an anti-tank mine and had its one foot blown off) Neels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
