First, my apologies on my earlier misunderstandings regarding FTR and how the pull-through works. This is what happens when one relies on the Internet.

As Wogpotter said, there are far more variations of military .303 ammo in existence than 7.62x54R, but OTOH most large stockpiles of milsurp .303 ammo were exhausted long ago. Although a milsurp dealer will still occasionally find a cache large enough to offer for commercial sale, they're becoming fewer and farther between, and the ammo is often relatively expensive and/or of dubious quality. Most active L-E shooters nowadays rely on commercial ammo or handloads.

Perhaps you are confusing it with 7.62x54R surplus, which is pretty much always Berdan-primed and corrosive due to Russian military requirements.btw, all .303 milsurp is corrosive.
