Was it the grade "A", or the corroded grade "B"?

Get it while it's hot because there won't be any more when it's gone.

Mike, I was on the website last night. The 303 ammo on stripper clips is sold out, but they still have the bulk 480 round box available. Just go to rifle ammo then click 303. Its the first on the list.

I've got a bunch of loose South African, I was more interested in it for the fact that it was clipped.

And, to be perfectly honest, I should be able to find that ammo at the next gunshow for about the same price, but without the horrendous shipping costs (adds almost $35 to the base price).

And then there's CTD's psychotic "our warehouses compete against each other for your business!" model.

Yeah the clips would have made it worth it. I didn't order any either. I hunt with my 303 so it isn't a range hound. And I don't shoot the mule kicking No5 Mk1 that much. It gets a 20 round box of FMJ PPU every now and then
