Some Ammo Really Sucks...

[GeeRam]

PPU and Barnaul have both advertised (and made) 174gn FLAT-based ammo and projectiles, in both "ball" and "sporting" configurations.

PPU no longer list flat base bullet ammo for .303, only the 174 gn FMJ BT.

In the UK we only have 2 options for factory 303 ammo, either the PPU or Sellier & Bellot 180gn FMJ BT.
Never seen any other make of 303 for sale here in UK for target use.

I have seen Remington SP Core-Lokt hunting ammo in 303 for sale by one dealer in the UK, but you can't use that on most target ranges here.

Kynamo (Kynoch - UK manufacture) were manufacturing MkVII with flat based bullets.

if you reload, careful with that Kynoch stuff, primer cups have two holes, not one centre one. new depriming pin is about $8.00.

The stuff I bought certainly isn't.
It is Boxer primers (as per the label)

It is Boxer primed - but, is not reloadable due to the fact they used S&&B cases.

Its the same in Ireland only S&B 180g and PPU 174g. I have seen Remington but never used it.
I have recently acquired some .303 MEN Surplus ammo, but have yet to try it out
