Feeding that SMLE

#1

Post by HankB »

If you shoot .303 British, you probably know that decent milsurp ammo has pretty much dried up for that round, which makes it more expensive to shoot that SMLE of yours.

FYI, Cheaper Than Dirt has some HXP (Greek military) from the '70s in stock - brass cases, Boxer primed, reloadable, non-corrosive.

Thanks for the "heads up"!
I just bought my second SMLE last week.
I am glad to see that there is still a little MILSURP ammo left.
