Product Description
Original inert .303 British Mk VII Ball cartridge manufactured at Royal Ordnance Factory Radway Green (RG) in 1972. This round originates from the final production run of .303 British ammunition at Radway Green, marking the end of over eighty years of British military .303 service ammunition manufacture.
The headstamp RG 72 identifies production at the famous Radway Green factory in Cheshire, one of Britain's principal military ammunition plants. By 1972 the British Armed Forces had long since adopted the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge, and this final batch of .303 ammunition was produced primarily for reserve stocks, training requirements and support of remaining weapons still chambered for the calibre.
An excellent historical example representing the end of official British military .303 production. Highly sought after by collectors of Lee-Enfield rifles, British military ammunition and post-war British ordnance.
