    Its cordite. A smokeless propellant to replace blackpowder. it comes in sticks and pellets.

    You definitely have a .303 inch mk 7 ball cartridge minus the front. The propellant is not too dangerous but burns fiercly. May I suggest that you stop picking up things you do not recognise from the most dangerous EOD contaminated area in the world before you actually find something that does hurt, maim or kill you.
