It's unfortunate that no manufacturer makes ammo loaded with a flat base 174 grain Mk.7 projectile. The 174 grain boat tails are Mk.8 specification. It's what's available because the factories in Yugoslavia, (now Serbia/PPU), and Czechoslavakia, (now Czech Republic/S&B), were set up to produce MG ammo when they were doing it for military use.

Indeed.

The UK MOD had to get the Greek's to make the last batch they needed for the Cadet's back in the early 80's as Radway Green last made 303 in 1973, and all the machine tools were gone.

Kynoch still make 303, but only the 215gn Mk.V1 round in small quantities, so its a shame they don't offer Mk.VII rounds as well, as they would be easily sell all they could make, but I guess they are just not into making volume anymore.
