White tip - just a poor pic !
From research - the black ring means they are "reduced charge" - but that refers to the cartridge they were originally in when they left the factory: bullet is as standard tracer type; so good up to 800m :shakeshout:

Looks like the 6.5 bullet from the 84mm infantry anti-tank gun sub calibre device they were all tracers with mv of 1050fps
to simulate a heat round trajectory haven't seen one since boy service in the early seventies! those were the days

Thats what the round IS - except mine were sourced from Sweden
Having said that, so were the 84mm sub-cals from all the cartridge head-stamp info I've seen on t'web - much like the good old 84mm itself !
Boy service?
Early 70's nostalgia?
Mutton chop side-burns & bum-fluff on the upper lip.
Flared DPM's & bell-bottom lightweights??
Jumpers for goal-posts....marvelous !

Saddler,
Looking at your picture and the picture in the link I posted (3rd round down) - I would hazard that they are the the same (or very similar). To my, inexpert, eyes it seems that it's a full power round and not a reduced load.
This document is taken from the link (can't seem to put a screen shot on here! :cool2: )
