303 British – 180 Gr SP – PPU (PP303S2) – 200 Rounds

Want a heavier 303 British hunting load for bigger game? Pick up this 200 round case of PPU PP303S2 303 British 180 grain soft point ammo from Prvi Partizan. It is a smart choice for Lee-Enfield owners who hunt deer, hogs, and black bear.

The 180 grain bullet is the classic weight for the 303 British. It matches the original military loading that most Lee-Enfield sights were regulated for, so your rifle is more likely to hit where it looks. PPU uses a soft point boat tail design. The exposed lead tip starts expansion on contact. The copper jacket then controls that expansion so the bullet holds together and drives deep. That combination of weight and controlled expansion is what you want for larger-bodied game and quartering shots. PPU rates this load at 2,460 fps and 2,418 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

Prvi Partizan has built ammunition in Serbia since 1928 and remains one of the few companies that still loads the 303 British in volume. That matters when you own a No. 1 Mk III, a No. 4, or a sporterized Enfield. Consistent, fresh ammo is getting harder to find. Since you should practice with the same ammo you hunt with, a full 200 round case lets you confirm your zero, work on field positions, and still keep plenty on hand for several seasons. If you prefer a flatter shooting option for open country, compare it with the lighter 150 grain PP303S1 load. The 303 British was the standard British and Commonwealth service cartridge from 1889 into the 1950s, so rifles chambered for it turn up everywhere, from Canadian Rangers’ No. 4s to Australian Lithgows.

This imported ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. Boxer primers mean the fired brass is reloadable, which is a big advantage for a cartridge with limited new brass supply. Each box holds 20 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 200 round case. Store it in a cool, dry place and it will be ready for many seasons.
