collection of British Military cartridges

[RCS]

I put together a collection of British Military cartridges over the years, I think that I
have most of them.

Can you identify them all ?dscn0604.jpg

third cartridge is the 276 Enfield for the Pattern 13 rifle which later became the Pattern 14 in 303 cal then the Enfield 1917
in 30-06 cal

Number 5 is the British 4,85x49mm for the SA 80 bull pup

What? You forgot the 8mm for the machine guns in their tanks? lol. Wasn't the 4.85 an FN development possibly with the Brits?

Your are right, I did not include the 7,92mm BESA tank m/g modified from the ZB 37


4,85x49mm developed from ourP1010012_0010.jpg 5,56mm, the British wanted a longer case neck

did they ever adopt the .276 enfield and put it in production?
