Listing these as how I bought them from a gun show and internet.
.303 British incendiary, BV11Z/ 44/ ?  (cut off last letters, can't find others to check)



8mm APIT, FN/69

These cutaways are very cool! I'm curious, how do you cut these?

Some of the rounds that I cut are very dangerous, and could explode when sectioning.  So because of that, won't say how I cut them but will say that they are never held in my hand and that these two were cut under water.  Saftey is the key here!
By the way, these both rounds are fake.  The .303 are just tracer tips in incendiary cases, and the FN 8mm is just a red tiped tracer with silver model paint over that.  Buyer beware!  wolfgang

Thank you for clarifying about the pictured rounds... I was very confused about what the rounds were actually were. ( No AP steel to be seen... etc.. )

Is the "powder" actually what was found in each loaded round? It doesn't look correct for 1944 loaded .303. I am however no expert.

The "z" in the headstamp indicates nitrocellulose powder instead of the traditional cordite. Correct for the cartridge and era.

Since these are fakes, there is no telling if the powder is original...
