.303 British


Recommended Posts

Started looking around and found: 150/174/180 gr. / fmj-sp / boat tail  - non-boat tail.

All within pennies per round from assorted mfg'ers

Anticipate shooting no more than 300 yards from a sporterized SMLE.

Need some education!

Thanks in advance.

The wwII and Paki ammo are well known for click-no bang or extended hangfire

 

 

buy with caution

True that.  Great stuff for pretending you have a flintlock. Click...bang.  Click...bang.

British military mkVII was loaded with a 174 gr. FMJ flat base bullet.  I've done well with the Hornady 150 gr. SP.  It reduces recoil a bit and the larger .312 diameter may be advantageous if your Enfield has a larger bore.

If I were shooting factory ammo, I would look for the best price on PPU.
