I saw some .303 Pakistani surplus this morning at the Ancaster (Ontario) gun show....but after all the bad reviews decided to pass.
Is anyone here reloading with lead bullets (or is everyone using FMJ)?.

They have UK Mfg and POF Mfg listed, for the same price.
I picked up 200 rounds of Greek .303 British (headstamp HxP 70) today at a show in Northern Illinois. Nice and clean and .65 cents a round. Supposed to be non-corrosive.
Anyone know about this ammo? The cool thing is, it was loaded into this Vickers July 45 machine gun cloth belt.

Was it at DuPage County Fairgrounds? I must have missed that deal, I walked all over looking for some 303 and best I could find was some POF. I know people say they've had bad experiences with it but I'll try my luck with what I can get right now.Quote:

I have alittle bit of '69 HXP and alot of '89 HXP. It is by far the best surplus I've been able to get. It is indeed non-corrosive, reloadable and nicely consistant.
While not surplus, Sellier & Bellot .303 (new) FMJ has shot well for me, over 400 rounds worth ranging from 100-1,000 yards and stayed "true" to the sight elevation ladder on my No.4 Mk1. The 7.92mm worked well in my father's WW1 Mauser as well.
If you gotta buy new, using S&B isn't bad.
I load with lead.
I load everything with lead !
