I have some 303 rounds in a cotton bandoleer head stamped V11 GB 1940
will these be corrosive cordite ,corrosive primers and will they have single hole primers
Cant decide whether to shoot as is or pull the heads and reload or put them away as is ...
Thanks

Your Ammunition was made by Greenwood & Batley in Leeds in 1940. It is standard mk 7 Ball ammunition
You can shoot them if you wish but the primers will have corrosive properties, so if you wish to use them you will need to flush the barrel with hot and soapy water.
