Friend gave me a .303 round.
He know I collect old ammo.
It's .303 Brit.
Has a strong crimp in four places on the neck.
I'm thinking MG ammo.
Any ideas????

WW2 Japanese 7.7mm Rimmed, dimensionally the same as .303 British
What was it used in????
Is it the same 58mm, but rimmed????
Looks more like the .303 case than the 7.7 case.
Correct, rimmed case used in Jap machineguns.https://www.militaryfactory.com/smal...allarms_id=379Quote:

Possibly correct, but does not resemble Pakistani which has POF arsenal code in Roman lettersQuote:

Z can be used in a rifle but you will notice a bit more recoil.
On another forum, they said it is iraqi too.
