Is there a site where fresh .303 British FMJ ammo can be ordered ?

I'm sure there is some .303 ball (FMJ bullet) ammo around. S&B, Prvi Partizan, and Remington should still load it. Just Google for it. The "Fresh" part may not be so easy if you are looking for authentic military ammo, as I don't know of any nation still using .303 military weapons. But anything from WWII or later should be OK. Try the gun auction sites.

Try Cheaper than dirt. They were selling a 450 round case of greek 303 mounted on chargers for about $180, then 480 rounds loose for about 190. I got the 450 round case and its beautiful ammo. Clips are in excellent shape. Don't know how much they have left so if you decide to get some better hustle. Boxer primed,non corrosive and of course reloadable. Frank

I try to avoid recommending CTD, but the Greek surplus they have is as good, if not better, than the commercial manufactured in the US.

Buy it cheap and stack it deep. It won't last forever.

Try here plenty and too many to list. I too lazy to type them all.

Just be careful, or real good at cleaning your gun/s, most all military .303 ammo I see is corrosive. NYS has made it almost impossible to do mail or computer ordering to cut down on crime!

I do not shoot mine too often so I get a box or two of commercial if I feel like going WW2.

Aim Surplus or SGAMMO. That's where I get my 303 PPU

Like MichiganScott said, buy it cheap and stack it deep. Sooner or later the good stuff is going to dry up.

That was one of the favorite loads for the Brit's..........

It was even used in Africa.

+1 on stocking up if you get a chance. I own a 30-40 Krag and
the cost of that ammo is a killer from what it once was. It will
not get any cheaper or even worse............!!

Good shopping.

The Greek HXP that CTD has is non-corrosive.

Just in time for this thread.

Greek HXP (usually 1970's headstamp) has always been great ammo for me. I'm on my last few bandoleers of it but have been reloading the excellent HXP brass for some years now.
Reloading is the way to go as far as I'm concerned. A set of new dies or even a used set in the common calibers is easy to find. I've used alot of pulled AK bullets in 303 w/excellent results too.

I'd be a little wary of any 'POF' made and packaged 303 Brit ammo.
That's Pakistani mfg'r stuff (Pakistani Ordnance Factory) and to be kind,,it doesn't have the greatest reputation.
Lots of hang fire & duds. Strange smell and dirty when it does fire.
A lot may be due to prior handling and storage in less than perfect conditions over there. Maybe it's just bad stuff to begin with.

Some have reported good results with POF made ammo,,but the majority opinion is negative. My trials with it were negative. It was click-bang ammo that was good if you were trying to teach someone not to flinch. It was $1.50/box IIRC and that goes back a ways.
So the stuff has been around for quite a while. They're probably still making it for all I know!.

The stuff got all sorts of nick-names for the 'POF' initials, like Pride of Frankenstein, and others that I can't list here for for fear of being shown the exit door.

Old lots of War time 303 are just about gone and have begun to be priced for collectors instead of shooters anyway. Anything WW2 dated you can expect corrosive primers. Not a big deal really,,just clean properly.

You should find it at anyplace that sells rifle ammo,I know Gander Mountain and a few others here have it.
Be careful with surplus 303 British as it is loaded with a corrosive primer and used Cordite as the propellant which has a lot of hang fires due to age. I had a few take up to four seconds to go off so I don't use surplus ammo any more.
The best way to clean Your Rifle after shooting corrosive ammo is to pour hot water down the barrel from the action end to clear the salts from the primer.That is how the British Military cleaned Their rifles.You can also buy modern solvents that remove the salts as regular cleaners don't do that.
Heres a picture of Them doing it.
