savage 303
« on: February 23, 2007, 09:46:43 AM »
I was wondering if you can either purchase ammo or brass for the 303 savage. I found a 99 in this caliber, but it's only of hunting grade quality.

Ammo might be a problem, but try here:  http://www.reedsammo.com/Page3.html 

Brass is periodically available from Huntingtons:   http://www.huntingtons.com/cases_norma.html

Oops,I read that wrong.What we stock is .300 Savage and yes the .303 Savage is not the same as .303 British.

Brass and loading equipment is available. Loaded rounds when they can be found run between $65 and $80 a box. Brass generally runs $1.25-$1.75 each doesn't seem to matter if it is new or fired. Unless you get lucky and find a box at a gun show for $5 like I did. Supposedly, usable brass can also be made from 220 swift, 30-30 (marginal) and 30-40 krag (haven't mastered that one yet).
