    As it is the stuff the military made and used for their rifles on the two way range I think it is more than likely better than any thing else. Just a feeling I have also the sights would have been zeroed for that ammo in the first place. As a bloke that shoots a lot of 303 and reloads it I can say it is not an easy load to duplicate in fact a 100% duplication is not possible because the components available are different.

    I received several hundred once fired (or supposedly once fired) of the HXP head stamped brass with a P14 I purchased some time ago - didn't think much about it, as I generally use military .303 (in my various No4's anyway) - mid to late 50's aussie made, as I have a "quantity". Guess when I get round to using the P14, the brass sounds ok from the above comments.
