Thread: 303 Ammo

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.

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.
