I imagine we are all suffering from the escalating price of .303 ammunition.
There seems to be no post-WW2 military ammo available any more, and the WW2-dated ammo is by now going mainly click-bang.
Of the civilian brands, Prvi Partizan (making ammo in Serbia since 1927) is the market leader in UKicon - the ballistics are as shown here

Now, the UK's official dealer sells .303 Prvi ammo at £77 per 100 (that's US $128 per 100). Thus it is the same price to buy a good No 1 or No 4 rifle as it is to buy 500 rounds of ammo...

The obvious next question is whether any government factories still manufacture military Mk VII ball? India seems to do so

but I wonder what it would take for a civilian importer to purchase some, and what it would end up costing?

Just wondering.
