    I came across some strange ammo that I can't identify. I thought it was Mosie 7.62 Rimmed, but the shoulder is too far forward to chamber in my Mosie. I am enclosing a photo of a round and the bandoleer. The measurements on the round are as follows: 77mm overall length. 56 mm case length, 13 mm rim diameter, 46 mm from rim to shoulder, short shoulder, then 9.2 mm to case mouth, 21.47 mm bullet exposed. 8mm bullet diameter. Keep in mind these are not professional measurements, just me and my dial gauge.

    Looks like a .303 to me, if you have the ammo on strippers, showing one of them would be a certainty. My memory may be off but that head stamp sounds like Greek head stamps but I thought it would be HXP.
