EM2 280 British 7x43mm collector Cartridge made in 1949 by RG Radway Green.
these are pristine condition but obviously not for shooting as there are no rifles in this caliber except for ones in museums and private industrial refence collections. Brass cartridge case, copper jacket with mild steel core like the eastern 7.62x39 and 54R today. Pink misted tip which denotes 280 standard ball.
Head stamp is - RG, 49 and 280/30
These came in a 1,000 round wooden case with heavy wire handle from RG packed in spacers, no boxes. The case not included is marked 1000 CART, 280 Ball, MS CORE 140GR, In bulk.
It is assumed these came into Canada back in the 1950's when we were working with England as they were lobbing against the US who were pushing the 7.62x51 NATO that was eventually adopted for the M-14, FN C1, G-3, ect.
a real piece of history.
$30 each, there is a total of six cartridges.
