I got a deal on some ammo and reloading stuff today. The reason I called on it was some 310 Cadet ammo was listed. It turns out the 310 ammo is the FMJ stuff. The headstamp is MG over 310. Just wondering if someone can tell me where it was made.
Also if it is boxer or berdan primed. The primers look like boxer to me.
Thanks in advance for help.

I'm sure some of our Aussie members will be along soon but I'll start. I think you have Austrailan military ammo loaded during WWII, likely loaded with cordite and likely berdan primed! Break one down and see. Cordite will be in long strands
I figured it was War era from the FMJ bullet. I plan on trying to fire a couple of rounds and check the type of priming. I will keep a few for collecting.
MG= Small Arms Ammunition Factory No. 2 Footscray, Australia
