Thread: reliability of surplus WW2 era 303 ammo

I have used old PMP south african stuff just fine, sadly they were berdan primed.

HXP gets shot if it passes the shake test and doesn't look outrageous. I occasionally get a case split but nothing as pictured.

I have shot ww2 canadian stuff just fine.

however none of these were visibly corroded.

if you have had failures like these then i would buy once fired HXP off TM. and use the projectiles. if you crush the case you get 5 bucks a kg at the scrap dealers
