F N 303 ammo
Greetings. New member here. I picked up a box of 303 rounds at a Gun Show Sat. Blue and White box marked Interarms, Alexandria VA. Stamped in red on the top flap was 303 british target loads. Head stamp reads F N 67. I understand that means made by F N in 1967. I have three quick questions.
1. Is it bergan primed? ( I assume so.)
Is it corrosive?
Is it decent ammo?
Appreciate a response, especially from someone who might have shot said ammo before.

I've shot a lot of FN .303
All that I've shot was made in the 1950's, came in original boxes, and was intended for Bren Guns.
Assume it is Berdan primed and corrosive, but I believe FN switched to non-corrosive priming some time in the late 1950's. I've also shot a lot of 1958 FN 30-'06, and it was non-corrosive.
If you have the .217" Berdan primers, those cases will reload nicely.

Nujudge - you say the berdan .217 cases will reload nicely. Do you have a source for berdan primers ? I've ben searching for them with no sucess.

No source. If you did not buy them some while ago, you are out of luck.
