I was looking into stocking up 303Brit components in a while. I was looking into getting a few thousand cases and bullets after i start work. Wholesale sports in Lethbridge is closest to me but they only sell the 50 bags of brass. Any body know a place to order bulk components for a decent price? I like the Hornady 174g FMJ-BT since they are close to mil-spec and Winchester brass did OK for me.

Higginson... Rem and Winchester are good - pass on Federal. Dont think anyone is going to give you a big discount for bulk.
I dont think I'd buy all one type of bullet, particularly if you're trying for accuracy. I can guarantee those bullets wont show advantage over the other Hornady products (SP's). And you cant hunt with the FMJ's..

Well I don't hunt, all i do is target shooting. The FMJ are pretty accurate, I get decent groups and as i said, they replicated military ball rounds.
Well - If you really want to "replicate" things, you're going to have to get close to design muzzle velocity - around 2440 fps. Using 174 gr pills, you're going to be running hot loads, close to max. Hard on brass, rifle(60+ year old rifle) , and shooter (hello Mr Steel Buttplate...)
You can do the same thing with a 150 gr pill, using minimum load. Easier on brass, rifle, and shooter. And likely more accurate, based upon personal experience.
Anyway, each to his own... I got rid of my 174 boat tails years ago, have never looked back.
