I have 3,900 rds of British ammo. I have been told that it could possibly be Proof Ammo & I am trying to find out if this is so. The Head Stamp is:
RG 59
Q3
It is Brass Cased with a full metal jacket bullet and the propellant charge is Cordite. I have some other original U.S. Military Proof ammo: Winchester .30-06, (1,800rds.), .308, (160rds.) and Remington .30 Carbine, (6,585rds.). I would like to sell it all as one lot but first I have to know if the .303 is Proof Ammo.
I have contacted H.P. White Laboratory in Maryland but unfortunately they do not have a Hi-pressure test barrel for the British .303. I was wondering if anybody knew how else I could find out if it is Proof Ammo.
