303 Spitzer Cartridges

The Rattler · October 13, 2014, 10:57 PM

Using my 303 British Mark I* SMLE, I recently fired Hornady SP cartridges with a Spitzer (or pointed) bullet. I have a feeding problem but not when using these types of cartridges. The problem is that they are hard to find. Do any of the manufacturers sell a similar competing product?

Yes they do. Take a look at Wolf, Federal, S&B and a couple others.

Prvi Partizan also makes one & the brass is reloadable.

Thank you both. I have already ordered Privi Partzan & Wolf.

Hi,

I use Prvi with no issues.

Sometimes it's the magazine that needs to be looked at, especially the way it's seated.
