    Unknown .303 milsurp ammo

    I came across some .303 ammo 10 or so years ago that was the absolute best i have ever seen. I have been unable to find out where it was manufactured nor have I been able to find anymore of it. The best i can remember it came in 50 rd. boxes marked 7.7x56R. The guy selling it told me he thought it was South African but was'nt sure. As I've long since been out of it I don't remember what the headstamp was. The primers looked to be the same size as large rifle. Anyone remember it? Seen any lately?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    It does sound like the South African milsurp. Haven't seen any lately aside from Spinecracker's find about a year ago. (It didn't last too long!)
