Factory .303"

[Tower75]

Hi, all.

Right, I think I'm going to have to admit that my reloading gear is lost to me for a while. All of it is buried behind miles and miles of "garage-junk" and it's not coming out anytime soon. It's been a looong time since I've seen it, or done any shooting.

This leads me to ask, where can I buy factory .303" from? I've never bought the stuff, only ever reloaded, or bought surplus ammo by the hand full: I still feel like a novice after almost ten years shooting*

*Granted if you add up the time spent shooting in that period it will equate to about 5 weeks.

Privi Parisan and Kynoch both make .303

We use Kynoch.

I have always found the sellier and bellot .303 to shoot very well and choose that in preference to the privi. I think they still sell it at the nra range office.

Henry Krank sells Privi ammo, including .303.

If you are thinking of reloading the brass, boxer primed Privi is good quality.

I've used both Prvi and S&B, both shoot well, prices vary, I've seen Prvi as high as £70something per 100, sometimes as low £60

The last lot of S&B I bought was £44 per 75 rounds, it worked out around £60 per 100 if I recall.

David at Kynamco hasn't loaded any .303 target for about two years now, as he can't get components at a sensible price. I'm there tomorrow, I will ask him if the position has changed.

HPS Targetmaster also do .303, good stuff, and is my current supplier.

We got ours a while ago, and it may have been old stock then...

If your looking to reload the brass at some point later I would stick to PPU much better brass than S&B for reloading.

I found some S&B ammo varies some what...

Try C&G for PPU or Ian at ITL shooting supplies (cheaper £60 per 100 on his web site) near Bisley

+1 for HPS at Bisley as well

NRA Armoury sells S&B 180 gr and PPU 174 gr .303". We have six-figure stocks of both.

S&B isn't bad stuff at all in 303, but I believe it's either loaded fairly hot or has soft primers.

That said, I haven't had any pierced primers in quite a while, so maybe I had a dodgy batch.
