I have 3,900 rds of .303 British ammo. I have been told that this ammo may possibly be proof ammo and I am trying to find out if this is so.

The Head Stamp is:

RG 59 Q3

It is brass cased with a copper FMJ & the propellant charge is Cordite. I have contacted H.P. White Laboratory in Maryland but unfortunately they do not have a Hi -pressure test barrel for the .303 British rd.

I was wondering if anybody knew how else I could find out if it is proof ammo.
