Thread: NZFS ammunition article by Lynn Harris

In 1966 we were issued the hollow-pointed .303 ball which came in cases of 750 rounds and it did the job fairly well. The NZFS .270 was issued in 130 grain for the more open and longer range shooting in the South Island while the 150 was mainly used in the North Island where there was more bush shooting and usually shorter ranges. I was well out of it by the time the .270 was used but I still 'picked up' a few packets from mates for my collection.
