    It's interesting Grandpamac but only a few weeks ago I was surfing on the net and looked up HPX Ammo Company.
    They have been around a long time.
    They were (maybe still are) part of the NATO Procurement Program and Olin assisted with setting up for this.
    Their ammo under Olin (Winchester) was said to be non corrosive primed. I would still be using boiling water though.

    The worst 303 ammo I ever used was headstamped with what appeared to be Arabic symbols. In my Fulton I got an excellent group up to 10 rounds and then side of barn stuff. The full length of the barrel was very visably plated with cu. It took me days to remove it. Never fired another shot of it.
