That's not much to go on, not sure what type. Googled it and this is one of the results.

I remember reading that a lot of POF ammo was click bang stuff and some click only though there were some OK batches. I have not seen any in the UK though. I have a few rounds of 1940 vintage Indian made .303 ammo. That is in the collecting stash and not for shooting. All will be corrosive so hot water down the barrel after shooting.
Regards
Peter.

Thanks for the replies. I found a date on the boxes...1964, so I will assume it is corrosive and act accordingly. Too much to just throw away,,, so will enjoy shooting it up.

It should be corrosive primed, and have cordite as the powder.
