    Aimsurplus had some a while ago. Every once in a while you see some on GB.

    Some of the Greek 303comes up now and again. Have not had good results with the pakistani- delayed firing, probable poor storage. Check over at bluebroker.com, have picked up some over there. The surplus market has about dried up (make that CHEAP surplus market) for 303, 30 Carbine, etc. HINT- got an 8mm Mauser, or 7.62 Russian? Get it while the getting is good.

    I have not found surplus in awhile but I have shot some of the "HOT SHOT" .303 British made in Serbia and boxed and marketed by Century Arms International. It was about $10.00 a box last time I got it. It seemed to shoot well and the brass looked good enough to reload. I also saw that Midway I think it was had some Prvi Partizan at about the same price.

    Hot Shot and Privi Partisan come from the same place. If you plan on reloading it, anneal the cases and neck size, otherwise they won't be good for more than one reload before the necks split.

    I have some of the Greek mfg ammo, very reliable , non-corrosive and reloadable, it is tarnished but good shooting quality, contact me at "lgc1947@gmail.com" if interested.
