230/297 Morris tube ammunition, there were long and short versions.

If you have a Morris tube for your 303, I have also had the odd Rook rifle chambered in the same.

No longer manufactured, but reloadable.

Tend to be collectors ammunition now a days. Not that rare but surely will be in days to come.

there is also an extra long version, they are very soft shooting.
Used for vermin/rabbit control in the past

See the antique section on Gunstar. There are at least two for sale.
Brass is easlily formed from 22 hornet , for which you need an expensive set of dies. In theory, you need a mould for a stepped bullet more or less identical to a 22 long rifle bullet, I shot this round about 20 years ago and managed to scrounge bullets from Eley.
