.303. What have I been given?

[John R.]

All Canadian. 303" ammo be it ball, tracer or AP is CORROSIVE PRIMED if it has BERDAN primers and has a DA headstamp.

However ALL AMMUNITION MADE BY DEFENCE INDUSTRIES ( D I headstamp ) with BOXER Primers is NON-CORROSIVE be it 9mm Para, .303 ", .30 M2 cal or 7.92/8mm.They did NOT use Berdan primers at all and your's are Boxer primers.The DCRA issued. 303 " Ball ammo for target shooting up until the A$$hole Lieberal Government decided that Service Rifle Shooting was "WARLIKE" or some such libturd BS back in the mid 1990's so we issued out every round of. 303" and 7.62 Ball we had and never voted Lieberal ever since.

The tracer element does NOT ignite until some metres from the muzzle so is NOT a factor.

And what sort of magicial spell twas cast to make these bullets light some meters from the muzzle ????
Nay , tis not a magical spell , but a type of fuse . And what lights the fuse ? Tis the burning powder from the cartrige. And where does this occur ? In the bore . Will the ash from the bullets fuse coat the bore , get into the gas system , and is it corrosive ?
I cannot say , but I treat my guns as if the answers are yes , yes , yes.
