Anywhere we can still find .303 Mk7 cordite ammunition?

[commissar_lubi]

Cordite ammo is quite unique (has quite a pleasant smell to it if anything!), anyone know where one would still be able to find some Mk7 ammo?

Depends on how many rds your looking for. There's alway's some at the show's

Thinking that smell is partially due to the powder deteriorating over the years.

Ammo will pop up on the EE once and awhile and shows, of course. Unfortunately, the days of finding bulk Mk7 ammo are over.

Sorry, error in nomenclature.

Cordite is erossive to bores, so it's not recommended to fire large quantities today.

It's good to keep some hot water in a flask for trips to the range when shooting corrosive!

The primers will be corrosive, but the cordite itself contributes to erosion. Primers are frequently mercuric, but that is an issue only if you are reloading the brass.

I shot a few, maybe 10 or so. Nasty recoil and as I recall stinky too

I still have some around here somewhere
