303 British – 174 Gr FMJ – PPU (PP303F) – 200 Rounds

Want to shoot your Lee-Enfield the way it was meant to be shot? Pick up this 200 round case of PPU PP303F 303 British 174 grain full metal jacket boat tail ammo from Prvi Partizan.

This load closely mirrors the classic Mk VII military ball ammunition that British and Commonwealth soldiers carried through both World Wars. The 174 grain full metal jacket boat tail bullet is the weight most Lee-Enfield rifles were sighted for, so your rifle’s rear sight ladder should line up with where it hits. The boat tail base reduces drag and helps the bullet hold its line at longer ranges, which makes this load a pleasure for vintage military rifle matches and long range steel. PPU rates it at 2,400 fps and 2,238 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The full metal jacket keeps fouling low and costs less than hunting bullets. It is built for target shooting and practice, not hunting or self-defense.

The 303 British served as the British Empire’s standard rifle cartridge from 1889 into the 1950s, and it is chambered in the SMLE No. 1 Mk III, No. 4, No. 5 Jungle Carbine, Ishapore 2A1 (in some versions), Australian Lithgow rifles, and the Bren and Vickers guns. Prvi Partizan has made ammunition in Serbia since 1928 and is one of the few makers still loading the 303 British in volume. A 200 round case gives you plenty for several range trips and vintage rifle competitions. The boat tail design also makes it a natural match for scoped sporterized Enfields when you want to see what your rifle can really do at 300 yards.

This imported ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. Unlike old surplus, the Boxer-primed brass is reloadable. Each box holds 20 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 200 round case. Store the extra boxes in a cool, dry place.
