I had better results with S and B than PPV through my 4(T) however PPV brass seems better to reload with

Thanks, all. I didn't know you could get .303 at Bisley. May I ask a price?

David Little at Kynamco confirmed when I was there on Friday that he still cannot get the components to load any .303 at a sensible price.

S&B .303 is the most accurate currently produced ball that I have personally shot. However the brass is junk and separates with the first full length resizing - at least the stuff that I have. I bought a quantity of it about 10 years ago and am still working my way through it. I'm hording the remaining rounds for special shooting occasions when I want to show off.

S&B is very good, if you reload the cases be aware that the primer pockets are shallow, S&B primers are required and they are cheap....bought mine in the NRA

If you can find a supply, try Hornady .303 match, really good. unfortunatly my supply dried up still trying to get more but they are not exporting it at the minute.
