Testing .303 British MK 7 Cordite Ammo

In this video I try out some Dominion Arsenal production Mk 7 .303 British ammo, shooting it for groups and also to check velocity. This particular ammo was produced early in the second world war, it has a 174 grain Full Metal Jacket bullet, is brass cased, corrosive Berdan primed, and is loaded with Cordite propellant. Specifications for this ammo called for a velocity of 2440 feet per second.

The test rifle is a post war No.4 Mk2 with target sights.
