If you plan on reloading, grab some PRVI, and you score good brass at a "cheap" price.

Alternatively buy some club ammo. Have a chat to the secretary.

Thanks I won't bother with the Greek rubbish then. I'm looking at coming up the next WSRA shoot which sounds like February? Il definitely make myself known so come say hi if your there, Keen to meet as many friendly people as possible

Greek "rubbish" shoots fine, great brass as already pointed out, Winchester setup and owned the HXP factory (made .45acp and 30/06 for the USArmy, .303 forUK cadet forces into the 1980s), non erosive ball powder, non corrosive boxer primed. But not great in many two groove No 4 Lee Enfields. Shoots straighter than I can shoot unsupported at least in my H barrel No 1 mk iii. Definitely worth 1 dollar a bang! Agree though it is a bit naughty of GC to tumble the corrosion off the ammo before sale.
