I have a sealed box of .303 brit Mk7 belt-fed ammo ( the good stuff ) this is circa 1945 which means it's technically from active dates of WWII.
The box is completely sealed, never opened; one side the seal is close to be broken; I'm sure just from the years of storage and transport.
This is a gem of a find; most of the .303 guys know this was the good stuff - there are 250 rounds in the crate.
Here is a snippet of text from a friend who is an expert on these matters:
That is indeed the “good stuff”. You gotta watch out for the mk8. That is machine gun ONLY ammo and is way too hot (both pressure and actual heat) for a rifle. British troops were forbidden to use MK8 unless there was an emergency. It used cordite as the propellent.
Mk7 is really good stuff. It is corrosive however. It is very devastating. It is FMJ but the tip is filled with either aluminum or wood. So when it hits, it flips around.
