That’s cool
It is a 1914 Princess Mary pencil - https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/look-inside-the-princess-mary-gift-fund-1914-box
Which, although a few family members would have received one I’d never heard of.
310Cadet ammo.
So I did a little digging and looking and…
Melbourne made, one open, one sealed
Eh, why not, right…
And a handful of lose stuff, a mix of ‘made in Melbourne’ lol and 2 types of Kynoch.
There’s a third type, looks similar to Kynoch but a little shorter. After some research: Cattle Killer, also by Kynoch.
Pretty neat. I am going to keep some, pull others for measurements; and shoot the rest. Will be interesting to collect chrono data on actual loads of the day.
(reference for later, in case I lose it: https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/310-rook-with-750-case/3661)
And then I thought, well, those boxes look pretty so I grabbed some of “those” boxes too.

Hey DMC,
I know this is a rather old post and I am new to this forum but I’m hoping it will notify you.
Do you by any chance have a photo of a Eley Grand Prix 28 gauge paper hull box? I purchased one cartridge and I am cataloging it into my collection. Also do you or any of the members have info on this cartridge? I live in Clinton Utah USA and growing up never heard of 28 gauge. As an adult I knew of their existence but don’t know if they were a game round or strictly a clays round.

Gday mate, sorry but I don’t have any 28g stuff unfortunately.
Google may be your best bet, or some of the british sites.
I believe it was used for shooting quail and phesants mostly.
Ps. gundmc is an old account of mine.
