Found a bullet shell metal detecting at a gun range operational in the 1950s and 60s in South Australia.
The headstamp says MF and 018 or 310 (not sure which number it is) in the photo below I have placed a .22 for comparison. The measurement is 9mm by 28mm
.310 Cadet Rifle
Sorry for duplicity…I have uploaded pictures prior reading another thread.
