Well the last time I shot it it was pretty good but I am 20 years older and my eyes are not as good so I will let you know as soon as I can. I am still waiting for the arrival of the ammo 😆

303 brit and 303 savage are very different

the 303 savage is like a shorter body longer neck 30-30 with the same head and nearly the same length

sort of odd anyone would think 30-30 needed a longer neck but apparently they did

looking at them the 303 savage would likely fit in a 30-30win but not the other way around

too bad you weren't closer I'd give you a box -- a little old so no guarantees.

Never owned or loaded for a 303 Savage. I thought it was a pretty simple process to shorten and then fire form Win.30-30 brass into Savage 303. Win 30-30 brass is like 'picking up off the ground' everywhere.

On the long 30-30 neck; I like em' long neck covers up the lubrication grooves when loading lead bullets.

Kermit that is where I got them from. They won't last long and you won't see them again until the maker runs another batch.

Can get them in the US a little cheaper but it is a hassle to get them back here lol. I will only be using this gun to hunt so 2 boxes of shells will last me a long time.

a set of dies , and anneal every 5 reloads and you can have a lifetime supply

as he ejects every case into his hand to place it in a cartridge box to save it before starting he blood trail


here is a place to order brass , not sure if unprimed brass is easier to ship cross border it sure should be , still near a buck a case https://www.grafs.com/catalog/product/productId/75913

looks like making it from 30-30 is doable but the web is a little smaller on 30-30 so occasionally split cases happen in the prosses

there is 30-40 brass that apparently works or 220 swift brass also apparently works

50 more cases to go with your 40 and keep them all each time and you are likely good for a long time if you start loading it

I was thinking of going the reloading way. Brass is available for a buck or so a round unprimed just the cost to get going.
