303 ammo

I just picked up a box of 50 303 cartridges, headstamp is DI Z 1944. Now I`m wondering, Any value or should I just use them at the range?

how much did you pay?

Not overly valuable. Most folks around these parts just shoot'em. The DI are also boxer primed and reloadable. Some of mine are on their eighth load. I separate and neck size only for each of my rifles.

Unless that box is still sealed and in pristine condition, it doesn't have much collector value. Still a fair bit of it around.
It's absolutely fabulous ammo though. Best I ever fired before the CF went nuts and destroyed it in favour of the mediocre IVI crap we got later.

The DI 1944 Brass is some of the best reloadable brass you will find. Is the box 50 or 48 rounds?
