    303 rounds not sure on value

    Hi all,

    I've got a random collection of 303 rounds and wondered if they are actually worth anything? The ones in the picture are 1929 CAC MKVII 10 Rounds of 303 still in the paper. Are there any experts on here that could advise current value and if worth keeping??

    A collector might be interested in them.

    Otherwise $1 or more for ammo in good condition but I wouldnt put any of it through my guns as its corrosive.

    Steven is right not only corrosive, cordite will erode what is left of your rifling best left to a collector or recover the projectiles probably quite good as not war time manufacture

    nothing wrong with using that old cordite stuff. just need to flush out the barrel with alot of boiling water asap after firing and a good oiling. mind you in saying that i still dont use it in my real good barrels haha.

    Shame I'm not home at the moment.

    Ive got a bunch of it too, packets of blanks and tins of grenade launching rounds. I don't think its worth much. There still enough of it lying around cluttering up the place. People sort of have it, but don't shoot it, and then give it to someone else, who goes, that's interesting and then put it on a shelf for another 20 years. In a hundred years it will be worth something.
