      That's pretty much my thinking at the moment. If you don't have a little stockpile of surplus 303 then over time reloading will be the best option. It's such a damn shame that it is so painful to reload berdan cases, which the vast majority of the surplus stuff is.

        your best bet is to use PPU or HXP brass or anyother brass BUT S&B and reload

        surplus 303 is gone, so are the greek stuff

          What's wrong with S&B brass?

              it will have case head separation extremely quick, even on .303 rifles with good headspace. I have had case head separations on my second reloading of a mid range load before. And this rifle had good headsapce

                took the words out of my mouth

                I don't own any lee enfields, but the verdict on S&B brass is that they suck lol

                  I stocked up on some privi last time I ordered some things from grafs. I've loaded and fired a small batch using Remington, but have not yet tried the PPU.

                    Got a bunch recently off a deal. Selling 6, maybe 7, Winchester black and white boxes. 174 grain and good looking stuff. Looking for $100 so I can buy a stack on gun cabinet from a fellow calgunner. Thanks!
