.303 British Surplus Ammo at Midway

[aqbill]

Hot off the presses folks...200 rounds for $150...in a cartridge can. They were "found" in a British Armory and they don't give anything away as to its age and origin. Only to say that it's Berdan primed, 174 grain bullet, non-corrosive, unreloadable brass and there's not much of it. Anyone know any more details?

They can keep it at that price!! Cheaper Than Dirt still has Greek HXP @ $189.00 for 480rds. Good looking out though...

What is the headstamp or does anyone know? If it's Mk.7z made in Belgium, South Africa or Portugal it'll be very good stuff.

[WarPig1976]

Doesn't say on Midway's site.

Looks like Pakistani to me (POF)

What make you think it is POF?

[CINDERS]

I blew that pic up to 175% and can see no head stamps on the rim, if it is POF like I said before having fired a few hundred rounds of P.O.F '67 vintage it is really crud stuff.
Whilst not the greatest shot in the world I am not prone to groups in yards or mili-second hang fires as POF liked to do I would have obtained better results throwing a handful of wheat at the target.

You may ask why persist with that stuff simple I could not afford at that point reloading gear this stuff came up far cheaper than dirt and I guess I got what I paid for Sh*te.......

...............and it gets this seasons wheat crop sown

Any confirm if this is truly is POF junk? CTD is sold out of HXP I see.
