.303 surplus

[sewerman68]

Hey C&R folks, what's this go for these days?

Rooting around in the gun room and found this, used to have about 20 of them. I bought them in the 80s for about 25$ a case.

Dont see those often. Theres a 192 rd partial crate on GB right now for 113. Plus 20 for shipping. I'd love to have it....

Theres also a 250 rd (belted) case. He's aking 250 for it but no bids yet...

Sure is....most folks are shooting the new manufactured PPU ammo now but even that is .50 per round

I only shoot cast lead handloads in my Longbranch these days.

Thats the best. I'm still shooting surplus when i can find it. Also have one of the SMLE's converted to .410 shotgun. Ran across several crates of that a while back, but no .303

It's a lot of fun, if you ever decide to get into reloading/casting esp. for milsurps let me know. I have been doing it a long time and would love to pass on the knowledge.

Awesome, thank you!

I use cast bullets / reloads in my 1873 trap door, but i get someone else to load them for me

I could use a couple of those to feed my Bren Gun.
