Hornady to produce mil spec. .303 in 2012

#1 Post by Watcher »

Is this old hat to everyone or is this a bit of news. Do we think it will be available in the UK?

I had not heard of them producing the .303 and will keep an eye out to see if it gets here, having said that I am just dithering over selling my .303's or not. I suspect they are going to go very shortly :cheers:

This has made my day, 7.62x54 surplus is widely available, but I haven't got into handloading yet so milspec ammo in .303 would be great for me

I dread to think how much it costs if Privi is over £70 per 100!
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Quite a few reasons, started fullbore shooting when I was 16 so range visits were infrequent till I passed my driving test so reloading wasn't really economical due to how few rounds I'd fire a year.
Once I past my test and went through a period of serious shooting I lost my job and couldn't afford to buy a press etc...
Got a job but was going to university where I am now, so I can shoot for month long periods every 3 months, so it was never became economical, as soon as I have the time to get all the gear, (have hundreds of cases and heads and a powder scale) I'll start handloading
