Head stamp id

[TLL]

Google Fu is weak. I have about 20 rds of a mix head stamp. Cartridges are identical except headstamps. Can anyone ID these? Two different stamps.

"RG" is probably "Radway Green".

.303 ammo?

Thanks Ed. No idea why I would have .303 if that is what they are. Don't know exactly what to do with them if they are. You may remember me from a free beaver in a little pond in a development maybe 15 or so years ago. Thanks for the trapping lessons. I did trap 2 more.

Radway Green loaded several calibers, the ones you have just look like they could be .303 Brit and the RG headstamp might be an additional clue.

LOL, yes, I do remember those pesky beavers! I went past there a couple weeks ago and thought of them.

I retired from there 11 years ago. Best move ever! New owners took over and put a fountain in the pond and made some other improvements. I moved to Louisa County and enjoy the slower pace.

Yes thanks. I looked there first but it really did not help. I'm just a low tech redneck!

The best collection of head stamp photographs I have found on the internet is this, unfortunately the site is in Spanish (Google translate can help):

MUNICION.ORG - Coleccionismo de cartuchería

Here is their .303 Brittish head stamps scroll down to RG:

.303 British / 7.7 mm. Breda - MUNICION.ORG
