Hi DM.
Bit late mate, I missed this one.
Have a couple of MEN 7.62x51 pulled with oiled primers if it helps. Just about to be given some RG so I could pull a couple and that way you could show them the correct bullet.
.50 cal is awkward as they are a sod to pull and my examples are either prohibited (AP/API etc) or match bullets (Hornady/monolithic) which are cold dead finger jobs.
To the gent who has the 30 x 4.6.....Ovenpaa and I would love a couple...cheeky I know but there you go

Just tell me where to send them, they're a bit grubby as I picked them up on a range I use.

Tracer?
I have a spanking .50 round here, Picked it up today.
It is standard Lake City M2, powder free, drilled near the base, live primer (the small hole will cover you) oil it if you like.
I have hit it with hair laquer to make it better to handle.
Drop me a PM with you address and it's yours.
Flanker,
mate, appreciated.Re: current Military calibre munitions

Maggot,
Can I be cheeky?
If DM doesn't want the .50 can I have second dibs please?
Willing to pay the postage.

Yes, but if he does like I say I dont have any spares yet, unless Matt fancies flogging me one.Stuck wrote:Maggot,

They take up a lot of room as well....
Sadly they are a bitch to inertify as they always look crap unless pulled and re crimped.
My way is slightly more hazardous but works if you are sensible.
The problem is I have kind of overworked this particular source and dont want to push it.

DM, just a thought, and I see why you might not like to go off on a history tour, but if I was in your shoes (I was when I was in the kate) I would blag an inert 577-45 for the old Martini Henry Enfields.
Quite sobering when you think of what we were chucking at each other back then.
