you are right most .303's were not well maintained

It wont have been cordite, it would have been something else I forget the name now. Cordite is sticks, not powder. They loaded the .303 mk7 with nitrocellulose something or another powder since the start of WW1.
Cordite or Ballestite as a propellant was the first type of smokeless ammo - if you have the original 215 grain round nose bullet (mk6?) load pre WW1, then that will be loaded with actual cordite.
