Jackpot!

[vintage hunter]

Have been well pleased with the HXP 303 ammo I got last year from CTD but at the same time I was a little disappointed that it wasn't true Mk.7 as advertised so after much deliberation and reading of reviews I decided to gamble a little and ordered a 448rd case of the ''grade B'' 303 surplus from CTD over the weekend. Judging from the pics I wasn't expecting much but reasoned the 448 bullets alone would probably be worth the price if it turned out to be junk. Well it arrived today and I got a pleasant surprise when I opened it up. All 448 rounds are in good condition, they's a bit tarnished from age but absolutely no corrosion on a single one. The icing on the cake is they are all 1943 South African Mk.7 still in the original 32rd paper boxes.
If you plan to order any there are(or were) several options available, choose wisely because according to the reviews whats pictured is what you get, mostly.
Reviews also report very few misfires among the cordite Mk.7. I might get a bit greedy and order another case before it's all gone if this lot shoots ok.
