My local gun store has fresh stock of PPU .303B ammunition in 150Gr SP and 174Gr FMJ. 150SP costs $44.95 a box and 174 FMJ at $49.95. Canadian dollars and on the west coast. 30 boxes of each. What are your prices like for factory ammunition in your area these days? (Assuming there is any available).

Seems to be running $23 - $25 per box of 20 in the US. Midway a bit more.

Same price here in Ontario, pre covid I was paying $28/20rnds, now its well over $50 with tax. What a lot of folks is calling greed-flation. Seems to be the norm on just about everything we buy now-a-days.

My last batch of "Store Bought" 303 British ammunition was well over 5 years ago when I purchased 10 boxes of Herter's Brand 303B because they were on sale for $9.99 a box.
I have been buying those WWII Winchester rounds from this guy on Gunbroker for $25 bucks a box but, I'm just doing that to source the New and Unfired brass...

I don’t think I’ve ever bought any commercial .303 ammunition. I have bought some HXP and PMP surplus Mk VIIz, I think it was around $0.30/round at the time, that was over 20 years ago.
I have bought a fair bit of .30-06 commercial ammo loaded for the M1 rifle (S&B and PPU), and a lot of HXP M2 ball surplus about 6 or 7 years ago when it was under 70 cents a round. Probably more than I will ever use. I figure I’ll break into this when the zombie apocalypse starts  .As they used to say, “By ‘em cheap and stack ‘em deep”. The days of the first part of that saying are gone forever I’m afraid… |

With the cost of ammo increasing, and having to trim costs, I took up reloading. reusing the brass, the per-round cost is less than 50 cents. Using cast bullets about 25 cents.

The thief may possess something he stole, but he does not own it.
The owner has a right to take his property back from the thief. |
