Getting harder to find. Might check some distributors such as AIM Surplus I have seen them have odds and ends. Privi Partisan seems to offer a somewhat lower price. Hard to say what is out there. I lucked into a bunch of Greek 303 ammo and it was a good ammo. Good luck. I am hording what I have left. ATB

I see it there all the time...and pretty good prices too. It's very easy to load the Brits. I use CB's that are GC'ed, but plan on paperpatching soon so to increase velocity abit.

I've read that some people rechamber to 7.62X54. Prolly have to set the barrel back though.

Dont get the Pakistani stuff. Cordite and hang fires worse than a flintlock using pyrodex LOL. At least that is my experience with the POF 303.

Greek HXP and South African 7.7X58(303British) was the last i bought Maybe a hundred rounds left:-(

I reload the stuff now with a set of Lee Collet dies (works great) and what ever .311/.312 boolit I can find.
