You are most welcome!! I have to dig mine out and get out to the range.
I received my Greek 303 today and it is very nice. There are a few clips with a little rust and corrosion, but very few!! Hope it shoots well. May have to dig out one of the No 4 Mk 1 Ts and head to the range!!
Happy shooting!!

I had seven rounds of the 303 surplus I decided to trash due to case corrosion of a couple rounds in one of the boxes. Of the seven I discovered that there were three different bullet types. All weighed between 174 and 174.5. A couple of them had a longer bullet length.

Mine hasn't arrived yet but I was wondering if it might be mixed types in the bulk lots. I'm pretty sure the two bullets on the left are Mk.7 , the five shorter ones are L1A1 ball. Weight is the same as Mk.7 but they don't have the nose filler so they end up a bit shorter. Do you by chance remember the mfg. date of the L1A1 rounds? I have about 400 rounds I've scrounged here there and yonder over the past couple years with either '86 or '89 mfg. dates.

Your correct. A closer look at the brass indicates various the Mk. 7 ammo that was mixed in the one box of ammo that had corrosion problems. Date stamps were various GB dates of 42, 49 and 50. A DAC 44? and a RG 50 along with a HXP 73. I've spot checked the other boxes. So far everything else is the HXP 76 and clean.

The HXP L1A1 ball was 1989 me thinks. Good stuff.

So far 9 boxes all 1976 dated. One slightly corroded round. Clean chargers.
Very pleased.
I think I have a lifetime supply, until I get my Historic Arms Bren operable.

a box arrived today and I have to say the box itself is a nice item to have. after an hour of trying to decide to open or not open I guess open won so I opened it. nice 410 ammo in new condition. I will be hitting the shows looking for a musket for this ammo
