ww2 303 ammo. use or hoard?

[Bruce_in_Oz]

One solution to your terrible quandary of having pallets of Mk7 lying around, is this:

Pull the Mk 7 bullets (carefully) from the Mil ammo and store them.

Replace the ball projectile with a FLAT-BASED, similarly weighted, (or slightly lighter), hunting bullet for "filling the freezer", Zombie repellent, etc..

As you "vigorously" eject the fired, mercuric-primed cases from your trusty Winchester 1895, (or tastefully sporterized Lee Enfield), into the great outdoors, you won't have to flinch at the dollars disappearing into the scenery. Just remember to clean the chlorate residue out of the barrel and mechanism as soon as possible.

Load the Mk7 bullets into your nice, "match-prepped", reloadable Boxer-primed brass, on top of a suitable amount of propellant; (Lee Factory Crimp optional).

Head to the range.

"Rinse and Repeat".

Pull the Mk 7 bullets

Nice touch. I don't get good stuff around here, I have to settle for ratty and pull powder and bullet and replace them in a fresh primed case. Then I have positive results.
