enfield 303 ammo

[bighoss]

what is the best kind of ammo to shoot as in commericaly made

[Baal]

Prvi Partisan is closest to Mk.VII ammo.

[bighoss]

i got a #4 mk 1

[bearhunter]

Mk VII, is the mark of ammunition for the 303 British as in "303 Mk VII."

No4 MKI, is the mark of Lee Enfield you have. Winchester Grey Box 174 grain shoots pretty well in just about any mark of Lee Enfield. Privi and Winchester, are both reloadable as well.

What's the opinion on Remington's brass.

Myles

[Baal]

I like Remington brass more than Winchester or Federal. But not nearly as much as my Prvi Partisan and IVI brass.

[bighoss]

so what is the best type of primer to use whne reloading and what is the best size bullet to use and what is every ones opinion on casting

[bearhunter]

Standard large rifle primers. Any manufacturer will do as well as any other. Just in case you don't know, when you look for 303 British bullets, they need to be .312 diameter. Ask for that diameter specifically. .308 diameter bullets don't normally shoot well, although there is the odd exception.

[bighoss]

ok so what is the best type of powder to use

[Baal]

There are plenty of good powders out there.

I've had good results with both Varget and H4895.

I've got a pound each of VihtaVuori N140, N150 & N540 that I've been meaning to try, but haven't gotten around to yet.
