Not a criticism but it doesn't include non-English letters

Interesting. I have a 303/22 case stamped: HXP

Which gives it's origin as the Greek Powder & Cartridge Company, Athens, Greece

I think HXP were a common supplier after domestic sources of .303 dried up. Some turned up in the club magazine on the weekend, along with some war-era stuff.

HXP brass is still available as well although I did notice it had gone up to GBP11/100 last time I looked.
