The Rem rounded "Soft Point" ammo was the only ammo I thought I needed; after all, it says right on the box "303 British", so what other prerequisites should there be? They would not chamber from the magazine. Thanks Daveboy, you did good. The minute I first found this MILSURPS.COM site, I could see right away that, with all the great info being passed around, there had to be at least a few FIREARMS EXPERTS who could help me solve all my problems, and they did. I'm grateful to you all. Don't even try to buy this P14, because the value just skyrocketed Ha Ha. Your Pal, Sonny B., WV
