Someone must be still supplying the Canadian Govt with factory made .303 as they have only just started to replace the No.4's that the Canadian Rangers are still issued with....so they must be getting stock of .303 from somewhere...??

Unless they've been re-chambered to 7.62x51mm...

Nope, definitely still using .303, you can see the mags are still 'proper' ones.

Cardboard box of rounds on ground as well, so looking like mil/Govt supply chain of some sort...??

Fair play. I didn't know, or claim to know, Tried looking it up shortly after posting, but couldn't find much on them using SMLE's at all, nevermind the calibre...

Federal and Hornaday both still produce factory .303 so maybe it comes from them.
