Samco has .303 Ammo

Run Forest - RUN!!!!

Although if ya needs some bullets to reload this is one way to get them.
Lot of hang fires and no Booms.:eek:
Scarey stuff
 
For that price and a little more you can buy PRVI which is good stuff and reloadable.
Stay away from their Iranian 8mm ammo as well, unless you enjoy the excitement of hang fires and misfires.

I have not seen good surplus 303 ammo in years.
 
The ammo advertised is made at the Pakistan Ordnance Factory, and is dismally unreliable.

The two guys that own Samco are Pakistanis, and I guess they have some connections in the Middle East.
 
Too bad that the owners are not Indian. Indians might have access to actual Brit. or Aussie .303.
In spring of '09, Samco was the last distributor to sell surplus .303 in bulk.
It was mfg. in England, because the case heads on mine say "England '42 (or '43)".

Samco sold it for .20/rd., then in late April or May, suddenly they had no more-for a long time.
A few tiny amounts were seen somewhere about one or two years later, but at much higher prices.
