The South African stuff has been going at gun shows for $9 to $12 per box of 50 rounds. Yep, that wide a variance.

There's also some gen-you-wine British Mark VII ball, 32 rounds per box, at $8 to $10, per box. DEFINITELY wartime, definitely CORROSIVE. But it shoots quite well, and right to the sights, too. Now, this DOES INDEED have the hot-burning cordite Mike Irwin mentioned. I do shoot it, but I make sure not to shoot the barrel so hot I can't hold it with my bare hand.

It's been a couple of years since I've seen any quantity of the Winchester white box .303 ball around. I like the S&B ammo - - -Shoots well in my rifle.

Best,
Johnny Guest
