Those "Look" like brass shells, wonder if they really are brass or are brass washed steel. Still good price, thanks for the info!
When somebody receives their order, could you post good pics of the base and the crimp of that case please???? Wonder what sort of primer ? And is it boxer or the more likely berd primer? But the crimp looks interesting.... I have crimped my brass shells for the 410, and they done look like that when crimped. Looks like there is a double crimp of some sort..... Sure could use some better pics please... They wont ship here or I would buy some.

FWIW, MidwayUSA appears to be selling the same stuff, and their listing says it is Berdan.

I actually am reading a book that talks about these shells. They where designed by the British to equip Indian (India) police/military troops which a reamed out smoothbore 303 Enfield. So as to be unable to 303 ammunition. They are brass cases and are berdan primed. In a little bit I will go and get the book and post any additional information I find.
I ordered some from Midway and will report on round dissection and chronograph, etc.
cool! if you decide you want to sell a paper bundle, or trade, let me know.

If anybody orders these and would sell just 1 or 2 for my cartridge collection, let me know!
shot a few of these last week in my enfield,was shooting at 25 yards, groups of three, most groups all touching, did have a couple of flyers, recoil mild,primers did not show any flattening, am going to see if I can convert a few over to the 209 primer.

the 410 surplus shells with the single ball are highly corrosive, be sure to clean well.
