Product Description
Original WW2-era inert .303 British cartridge with WCC 1940 headstamp, manufactured by the Western Cartridge Company (USA) for British/Commonwealth use during the Second World War.
Dated 1940, this round represents early-war production, a period when Britain relied on American industry to supplement domestic ammunition supply following the outbreak of war. Western Cartridge Company, closely associated with Winchester, was a key contributor to this effort.
This example is a standard Ball loading (non-tracer) and would have been used in front-line service with Lee-Enfield rifles, Bren guns, and Vickers machine guns.
The headstamp remains clear and well defined, making this an excellent collector’s piece, display round, or reference example within WW2 .303 ammunition.

✔ Western Cartridge Company (USA) manufacture
✔ British contract ammunition
✔ Standard Ball loading (.303 British)
