Sources of 303 ammunition
Does anyone know who has 303 ammunition at a reasonable price.surplus or factory but to be fair I've never had a good experience with privi
Re: Sources of 303 ammunition
There is no reasonable priced .303 anymore. Reloading is the cheapest option once you have the cases.

PPU may not be the greatest out there but it's certainly not bad. .303 rifles though can be very variable as many are totally shot out.

Re: Sources of 303 ammunition
What price do you consider to be reasonable?
When guns are outlawed, only Outlaws will have guns

"There is no reasonable priced .303 anymore."
You have PPU or S&B modern factory .303 ammo not cheap. I would not buy S&B it's cr/p. The good stuff like Greek HXP has long gone in the UK.
So as already said reloading is the only way to get .303 ammo at a reasonable price and quality.

Re: Sources of 303 ammunition
I find for .303 if the brass has been fired in the rifle you only need to neck size it will last alot longer. If you buy once fired brass from another shooter then full length size first. Keep away from S&B brass wont reload many times, PPU good.
Re: Sources of 303 ammunition
If you only have a full lentgh die set then full lentgh re size. Just keep a close eye on your brass. If you have a neck sizer then neck size.

What's wrong with PPU at c£14 per box of 20rnds? I also keep the brass as it seems pretty good to me.
