To my knowledge, India has NEVER made .303 ammo with a boxer primer for service use.
The "standard" is the good old .250" diameter, copper-cupped MERCURIC Berdan primer. Long-lasting and "generally" reliable from the poles to the tropics.
Their 7.62 x 51 "NATO" ball uses the more familiar .217" diameter BRASS cupped BERDAN primer. This MAY have changed in the last decade or so.
There is a small production of "sporting ammo in India; not sure what sort of primer they use.
Additionally has anyone ever seen any of the Indian 5.56 x 45 ammo to check out the primer pockets.Information
