I think you'll find its a 7.62mm Nato round. The rimmed .303 cases were a throw back to the late 1800's and have issues with auto weapons. Without proper loading it's even possible to lock the rims in a Lee Endfield magazine - very embarassing :!)

Cheers and thanks for the video! I wonder if they could mount one of those in my Spitfire?
