Privi 303?
Does anyone know the component makeup of PPU 303 ammo?

I'd chrono it, see what its doing.
Also pull a bullet and see if its the same as the one they sell, probably is.

Re: Privi 303?
well I normally shoot 40gns Vit 140, with a 174 canularred bullet
I've just been FL resizing some privi brass.
Ive just put a Simmons 1-5 Whitetail scope on my rifle with the intention of doing Mcqueens with it.
I was impressed with the groups I got. Tbh at £55 per 100 its hardly worth reloading

Re: Privi 303?
The bullet weight in the last one I pulled was 174.5gr and powder 39.6gr hope this helps.
I use H4895 38.5grs topped off with a 174gr SMK.

Reloading WILL save you £££ AND give you a more accurate round too!
It's a great extra aspect to the sport as well...
Re: Privi 303?
I use 41 grains of N140 with a 174 grain bullit and get good results.
Re: Privi 303?
As much as I reload there are some rounds that it is not necessarily worth loading for and if you can get the required accuracy for 55p/bang then so be it.saddler wrote:You having a laugh?20series wrote:...Tbh at £55 per 100 its hardly worth reloading

100 .311 SMk's are going to cost you approaching GBP33/100 now add GBP3.30 for primers and then GBP20 for powder and you are still spending GBP55/100 and you have not supplied the brass yet. So if a factory round at the same price gives better results then great and you get to harvest brass as well

I reload for my 308 & 284 producing as high spec results as I can. What I meant was For the amount of times I shoot the 303 it isnt necesarily worth the time taken
