Title: Not your standard 380 ammo
Post by: John Galt on August 18, 2015, 04:03:51 PM
I ran into 12 boxes of 12 rounds of this ammo.  I don't know anything about this stuff or if anyone here has a home for it!

Nice find  8)  PMP = Pretoria Metal Pressings Ltd., Pretoria, Republic of South Africa.  Explains why the writing is in Afrikaans (revolver cartridge). Made in 1967

Ammo for the British Commonwealth countries Enfield and S&W revolvers (box with 2 loads of 6).

Yeah, that's a bit of an odd one.  It's apparently .38/200, aka .38 S&W, aka 9x20R

Do any of you guys have a spot in your collection for this stuff?  I don't have anything to use this ammo in.
