A white tip usually means a tracer in 303 ammo made during WWII. May God Bless and Keep Barack Obama............. ........................................far away from us.

By this time the Canadians had begun to drop marking the designation on the base and used a common case for all varieties. These Boxer-primed cases can be reloaded, if one has a mind to start reloading 70+ year-old cases.
