My question is what did I get?? I'm sure the PP is prvipartizan ammo.. However what about the other one?? I have about a 50/50 mix of the two. It almost looks like Cyrillic letters on it..
303 British head stamps

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: 303 British head stamps
Not sure if 8mm mauser would carry over to .303, but I've found that the nny headstamps are the full power loads while the PPU headstamp is the weaker loads of that caliber. nny and PPU are both the same company, based in Serbia. I would treat that ammo as corrosive primed, only when fired will we know if its berdan or boxer primed. You can do that by looking down into the empty case and seeing if there's one flashhole or two flashholes. 1 flashhole is boxer while 2flashholes are berdan. Hopes this helps!Dan4good wrote:my ppu ammo has that head stamp
