This is another one of my finds from a piece of land which was previously used by the army as a training area. Does anyone have any idea's on what type of bullet this is, I don't have any idea where to start

Thanks

I'm sure that its a .303 round, I just tried putting it into an old .303 shell case I have and it fits perfectly. And im keeping my relic sites to myself for just now just incase theres more to be found

Thanks for the help

no problems ive found some of these blunt noses at former training grounds in the past, i think they were used up untill the first world war

Thanks again for the info, I'm planning on heading back to the site with my metal detector to see what else I can find

Thanks

Nice find. Definitely a snub nose 303 rifle round, circa WW1.

Should find plenty more with the metal detector.

Good luck

It's a shame you live so far away otherwise I'd offer to take you on a trip relic hunting to see if it is technique or your detector

What are you using ?

A lot of the time its the distance that makes the problems but its just one of those things we have to deal with, makes interesting road trips though

And trust me, its the detector....

Thanks
