Winchester 303 ammo

[can14]

Does winchester still make 303 174 grain full metal jacket? I was given a full case

Didn't Lever Arms get a bunch of white box Winchester .303 British back in the ninties? I believe that Alan Lever told me that it was an overrun from an Israeli contract.

U Lucky U know what! Does your "friend" want to give away any more? If So, I am very receptive to receiving gifts of .303 ammo!

 

[wbaad]

A whole case?! That's a good friend

Correctomundo, bought one, still sitting on it

The old days at Lever's, marvelous.

...and no. Winchester doesn't make ball ammo in .303BR anymore and hasn't in decades. It's all soft point hunting ammo when you can find it. And when you do, it'll be $40 a box.
Privi make ball ammo in .303 and the brass is nice.

Last boxes I bought were only $31 at Crappy Tire. The website lists it at $32 now. 180gr, soft point ammo. Still not cheap, but better than $40 a box.

How many is a case?
20 round cardboard box, or 600 rounds in a wood crate?
(2 spam cans of 300 )

$39-$42 for the silver/grey Winchester 180 grain soft points here (Southern Ont.). I'm in a sub-suburb type area so when I saw the price jump (near double) I drove to the country (rural) CT...and sure enough, they hadn't read the memo. At $21 a box I bought them out. I'm now reloading the brass with Russian 7.62 hard ball projectiles for range use.

My first adventure in reloading 303 was a case head separation

I remember paying $16 a box, not ten years ago.

We're getting screwed.

I'm sure the Government will step in to help us.

Henry at Budget Shooting Supply has Hornady 174 grain bullets, so you can duplicate issue ammunition.

Prvi makes good quality 303 ball, and the brass is great for reloading. The Winchester stuff was very good quality, but I don't think it ended up in Israel - remember what was happening in the late '80's (when it was made).

$26/box Winchester 180gr silver SP's at walmart in Calgary

Me too. The old Enfield had a "generous size chamber" and wreaked havoc with the brass. Still have some stretched cases laying around here somewhere.
