Never found any before but this weekend found these shell casings from two locations, the middle one I'm guessing is a 303 circa WW2 but the other two, the larger one has R A 2 stamped on it.
 
Hi Brett, it's hard to tell, but the RA might stand for remington arms. I see that F4 is going strong. I got to get one.

Brett; Without measurements its almost impossible to tell; There is a book cartridges of the world and a set of calipers you should be able to tell. Also I had pretty good luck when we had our gunshop using the internet to locate old ammo identiy; 36 years in guns and some I cant still find out.
Good Luck old ammo is interesting .

hhmmm not as easy as I thought. The big one is a 20mm shell, probably bought back from the war I'm guessing.
 
thought maybe they were british, royal army but i did a google search and one thing that came up was reloaded ammunition.
