    HXP 303 Now Available

    Steed And Perrins - Fetcham, Surrey. KT22 9JB

    Have HXP 303 at £20.00 per box of 48.

    I cannot justify driving a 340 mile round trip for a few boxes, so thought it might be of some use to you 'southerners'

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    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 remember buying HXP 69 from Henry Kranks for £14 a hundred when it was first available a few years ago. I wish it was still available at that price. I still have one box left that I have kept.
    Regards

    I just picked up about 80 rounds of HXP, nearly all 69 but a few early 70's. Is it corrosive and is it boxer or berdan primed? Also in the box lot were about 20 GB 50 rounds. I would assume this to be berdan primed and corrosive as it has large primers.

    HXP 71 & 73 is boxer primed and non corrosive; albiet you should treat any older ammunition as corrosive.

    Do you know I could actually walk there in less than 30 minutes, thanks for the heads up.

    Some of that stuff has '50s and earlier Britishicon rounds mixed in randomly (some tracer). Presumably it's been repacked at some time.

    Don't tell Son or Thunderbox but if you fire form your new cases with a rubber o-ring and don't say anything about headspace in our forum, then Son or Thunderbox can't chastize you about liking tight headspace. (just keep it quite and don't spread this around outside the U.S.)
