Rummaging through my Grandfathers stuff the other day; came upon his box of assorted Dummy cartridges.
The dummy .303 Brit (2 different styles) at the bottom is obvious.
Same with the .45ACP dummys (Centre Top) - Some serious Crimpage to leave you in no doubt it's dummy!
Same with the .30-06 Bottom Left.
Ammo top-left is a query for you all; HeadStamp is R^L (Royal Laboratory (1696–1965). – Woolwich, Greenwich, London, United Kingdom.)
Bottom of Headstamp is "O I' - Definately NOT a 1.
Would it possibly be .442 revolver?
Ammo Top right, I now realise is TWO different types; one rimmed and one rimless.
Possible the rimless is .38 Super, but I'll have to go look again to see if I can get a clear headstamp of each.
Looks like I didnt get Headstamp pics of either type of .303 dummy rounds in the clips, but the 2 in centre look to have 'CAC' (- Colonial Ammunition Company) - which suggests Australia or NZ, but I'll need to get better pics of both to see if I can unravel the rest of their stories.
2 cases in the middle (.303?) I read is supposed to be for display(hence the holes)?
After I took this pic, I found another stash that had a few more of the .303 dummys, so might be yet more different dummys to find..
Any info appreciated.
