    I had good results with Barnaul in my old one and Hornady does a SST that seemed to work well too. Sellior and Bellot is another inexpensive brand that worked well. As it is a single shot, I also had some handloads done that were 150gr 303 projectiles with a hotter powder load that got slightly higher velocities than the std load. The action can handle the jandal as it is also chambered in 308, 30/06 and 270 but it is the brass that becomes the limiting factor...

    Even saw one of these 7.62x39s rechamberd into 303 British....Very tempted to try that one .....
