Years back we used Norma (only available at tt).

Hunting or plinking?
Welcome to Sako club.
Will swap a box of 303 for 6.5x 55

Prvi (PPU) is good stuff for hunting. The 180gr works well with Lee Enfield open sights. Or go the 150gr if you have a scope.
Edit: that's based on Nathan Fosters website info. I sighted in my MKIII* with open sights with the 180gr and shot two deer with it, both died on the spot. So not a great deal of personal experience.

And hunting @dogmatix

I use Highland / Privi Partisan / PPU (all the same) or Sellior and Bellot. I have found both reasonably easy to get, work well in the rifle and I reload the Highland brass.
Thanks mate. Just what I was looking for.

Under $40 per box for PPU....
Interesting that .My no4mk1 longbranch wont handle 150gn-sprays like a heifer with scowers .put a 180gn in the chamber though and she'll happily deliver it like a good medium fast bowler -taking out middle stump if im on my game.
Iused winchester /norma ammo both excellent!
.303 military round is 174 gr. from memory. Rifles were regulated for that.
