I believe Sellier & Bellot makes, or sell as their own, a fair bit of their own projectiles could be the case with those. They are available to purchase as a component, I had some of the 173 SPCE's in 7mm Diameter came along with a box of loading supplies from an older gent. They shot well enough, once a load was found and killed deer, only had 40 some and haven't been able to locate a source. A quick search shows they offer component 150 and 180 grain .311 soft points.
I also didn't search too hard having a variety of other projectiles that the rifle likes better and are more common.

No way , are these only 311s?? interesting. ive not actually shot groups with it as it just isnt needed, it just needs to hit where its aimed, i also searched up a bullet list but couldnt find the diameters :D thanks though !

just a standard cup an core SP ? is it ... slow velocity would help it look as neat as it does
 
A cup and core is all that a 303 needs... BTW - a 150 gr reloaded to minimum loads gives an MV clsoe to the original military load ~ 2400 fps. I call it 303 lite...
 
S&B is some of the best commercial ammo I have used for .303B. Nearly 2400fps with a 180FMJ out of a Jungle Carbine. My handloads are much slower :(.

I couldn't say for certain if they are .311 diameter but a set of calipers and an unfired example would probably work to verify. I was pointing out what they offer. I know a lot of other manufactures list .311 diameter bullets as being for the .303. As well as the 7.62 communist rounds. Standard cup and cores can sometimes surprise you with how well the perform these days. Particularly with mild velocities.
