So, one of our esteemed Calgunners is off in Afghanistan, and came across what I THINK is 303 British. He sent me this message and some pics:
Here is a weird one. Can you ID this case with no headstamp? I don’t have a caliper, but it is in the pics with a 9mm, 5.56 and a 7.62x54R for comparison.
The pics are attached. Note the unusual "starburst" pattern on the bottom of the case. Also, it's Berdan primed.

A few more pics and higher-resolution versions of these pics may be had at:

If I'm wrong in saying 303 British, let me know.
