303 Bulk Ammo

In Canada!
In the USA it is available but just not here.
Down south you can even buy new manufacture Russian Wolf brand .303 British FMJ ammo in bulk at reasonable prices besides still available surplus .303 ammo.
Up until very recently (at least 2015 when I was last down there) you could buy this at a number of dealers in the USA -
Greek Surplus .303 British Full Metal Jacket, 174 Grain MK7Z Spitzer, 2440 FPS, 480 Round Bulk Case, Grade A
Original .303 British ammunition stored for many years in a military bunker in Greece. This is real military ammunition, not commercial loads, it is so accurate and loaded to Military specifications. Exact tolerances are required and that is exactly what this .303 British ammunition delivers.
Founded in 1874, Pyrkal, known as "Greek Powder and Cartridge Company", is one of the oldest Defense Industries in Greece. As the main producer of ammunition and explosives in the country, they have been a crucial supplier during all the military conflicts, and historically a well established exporter to five continents.
This is true Military Spec MK7Z Spitzer .303 British! This ammo has a 174 grain Full Metal Jacket bullet, brass cased, boxer primed, non-corrosive, and is reloadable. The Greek HXP (HXP is the headstamp code for the Greek Powder and Cartridge Company of Athens) .303 British is one of the most sought after surplus ammunition still available. This is the ammo you need if you shoot a Lee-Enfield, Lee-Metford, or a Martini-Enfield rifle.
As with any surplus ammunition, each and every round should be carefully inspected before use and we recommend cleaning your weapon.
This super deal is very limited and when this ammunition is gone, there will be no more. Buy now and take advantage of this great deal on grade A ammunition.
Caliber: .303 British
Bullet: MK7Z Spitzer
Grain Weight: 174
Muzzle Velocity: 2440 fps
Boxer Primed
Reloadable
480 Round bulk case packed in 48 round Boxes
This is original military ammunition that is 35 plus years old. The brass and bullets may have tarnish, surface corrosion, pitting, and discoloration as you would expect with ammunition that has been stored in a Greece bunker. We recommend you clean your weapon after use.
And if you like Canadian Surplus .303 you can buy some from here in the USA -

Ah, NRCAN, that very cost effective and essential government agency that protects us from blowing ourselves up, make you wonder how other countries around the world put up with all the deaths and disfigurements from their citizens shooting untested and unapproved ex mil surplus ammo?
How un-Canadian and silly of them!
You can buy UMC by the case still.

The last stuff I bought at a gun show was $0.50/shot, not really expensive but not exactly cheap either.
I plan on getting any corroded 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R that I can find at these shots and take the bullet off them, believe it or not the surplus 7.62x54R and 7.62x39 loaded rounds are cheaper than FMJ bullets for the 303 Brit.

Ive been buying any .303 I come across thats less than $1 a round .... so..... yup! (mind you these are usually cash / no tax deals , So when I think about that , after tax (ON) Its about par with my $1 a round. Still beats some of the outrageous prices I see some stores)

Ha ha ha, I think by unicorn you mean sheep.
I see it all the time at gun shows and every store has 303 Brit but no it is not $1 a shot anymore for factory ammo or 10 cents a shot for military surplus but the stuff is still out there.
The last gun show I went to looking for ammo I picked up 120rds of surplus for $60 and could have bought a ton more
New manufacture Wolf Classic steel cased 174gr. FMJ ammo sells for about $0.55 USD when bought in bulk (case) from US dealers.
If you could get it up here and have it for sale for about $0.80 CAD a round in bulk case lots or about $18 a single box of 20 rounds you would sell lots of it to shooters who want to use it in the hundreds of thousands of .303 Lee Enfields floating around in Canada. There must be at least twice as many .303 shooters and rifles in Canada than in the USA.

I cant get 303 any cheaper than 1.50 a shot, either locally or with shipping factored in. If you were to offer it for under a dollar a shot I'd buy a bunch in a heartbeat.

You couldn't keep that stuff on the shelves if you brought it in by the barge Sir.
There are probably literally a million Lee Enfields in this country sitting under a layer of dust for want of reasonable priced ammo to feed them.
I own one and it never gets any range time due to the cost of commercial ammo.
I've been saying it for years now. Whoever brings the Wolf .303 ammo in will not have an issue moving product. It's a no brainer and it blows me away that no dealer has realized this yet.
Especially if you can flip her out the door at $0.80 a round! That's still almost 50% cheaper than some of the worst commercial loadings.
0.85$ would be awesome but this would be far from your cost, you need to consider us sales tax+shipping (better import a crate which cost $$$) then customs taxes, storage plus your time and don't forget you haven't made a penny yet...i.e. 0.85$ would not be possible unless buying it elsewhere (China, Korea, Russia) which I'm hardly trying to find.
