Going rate - .303 Brit?

[cyclone]

Any idea on the lowest price .303 British ammunition you've encountered? Answers from those in the Toronto area will be much appreciated, too!

If surplus, Usually .50 per round (thats what I pay)

Im not sure about commercial stuff

I picked up Winchester Super X last year for $10.00 a box got 5 boxs.
Kamloops gun show.

When I buy at the store Winchester stuff is about $19.00 to $22.00 a box.

Bass pro has the UMC rounds at around $17.00 and LeBarons has them at $25.00, I've been told Bass pro has a discount on ammo going on now.

WSS lists there UMC FMJ .303 ammo at $25 per box. I believe their hunting .303 is $26/box.

Canadian Tire or Walmart has Winchester 170 gr PP's around $18.00 box of 20. Shoot fine from my 2 Lee's (Walmart is the cheapest)

Canadian tire is generally 18-22 a box.

Yep. I think I payed about $15.50 per box when I got some .303 (FMJ) at Bass Pro back in December.

Sellier & Bellot, if you can still find it, can be had for the same price, also FMJ.

Igman is a little bit cheaper, around the $13.00 mark for 180 SP ammo.

Other than that, you're looking at $20+ per box for any other commercial ammo.

I saw some grey-and-white boxes at Walmart; it looked bulk. Any ideas what it may be?

 

[Tyler]

Why didn't you look closer?

It's Wal-Mart, so I highly doubt it's .303 in bulk. It's most likely Winchester silver box. Wal-Mart only stocks Winchester ammo now... I bought a bunch of Remington ammo for cheap when they were clearing it out.

Why didn't you look closer?

Going to, of course, just wanted to know before I made the trip. I didn't have a .303 rifle back then, after all - just my .22's...

A later phone call to them (they are truly disorganized folk at Wal-Mart) disclosed that they might have been Federal Classic, but I doubt it - it looked too dissimilar in terms of packaging.

Here in Vancouver .303 British is expensive. Cheapest I've seen is Winchester Super X for $19.99 in Canadian Tire. Average seems to be around $25-$28 for 20 rounds. I have seen it as high as $35.

.30-06 on the other hand goes for $15/20 rounds if you shop around.

 

[mr.kendo]

I get boxes of Igman .303 for $15 at reliable.
