Really the only place I've found that has .308win and .303 British (.311) is http://www.budgetshootersupply.ca

Where else is a good place for reloading components?

Thanks!
 
Where are you? Every gun shop will carry .308" bullets. Not all will carry .311", but will order 'em. Mind you, .311" bullets may be too small for your rifle. Lee-Enfield barrels can vary in diameter from .311" to .315" and still be considered ok. Over .315" the barrel is shot out. The bullet makers make .311" and .312". None make 'em bigger, but go to .303british.com(add the W's). The guy there might still be making .313" and .314" bullets.
You need to slug the barrel. Hammer a cast .30 cal bullet or suitably sized lead fishing sinker through the barrel with a 1/4" brass rod and plastic mallet then measure with a micrometer.
 
I'm pretty confident with the .311 being the right size. The big question is what sites are best to buy reloading supplies from?
