    Sellier & Bellot 180gr FMJ

    Hi first question on this forum. I’m looking st trying the S&B 180gr FMJ 303 ammo. I can’t gind any info as the whether the projectiles are Boat tail or Flat Base. Has any one pulled a round apart to see? My old rifle doesn’t like Boat tail ammo.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    They also have a 150 grs. soft point flat base. Code no. 2939 and also 123 grs. (2907 and 2943), FMJ flat base and soft point flat base respectively. 2940 is soft point flat base 180 grs. There is all you may need.
