I believe that the little magnum line of ammunition as been rebranded as their Superformance line. They don’t make a Superformance .303 British load but they still make a 150 grain load under Custom line of ammo.

with remington out of production the last two years and federal stretched to the max im surprised you have the ability to find anything these days , but now that federal acquired remington ammo maybe they will be able to expand their production and alleviate this shortage soon ,

I didn't know federal took over Remington ammo, that's ok by me. I have been using federal in a couple of my rifles.

The parent company Vista Outdoors who owns more than I was aware of purchased Remington Ammo in the bankruptcy auction.  They also own Bushnell, Blazer, Federal and well check out the link to see all of them.  I have been ordering ammo online from federal since before COVID when a box of 9mm was under $9.99 a box and if you ordered over $75 shipping was free.  Luckily I’ve stocked up on 9mm, .40, 5.56, .22 .38 and .357mag before the prices got where they are now.  The only issue I had is the 15 day wait for your items to ship but with shortages it makes sense.  


I spoke to one of the sales Reps at Federal and he said they are in the process of completing a new primer house to be able to double their primer output.  I asked if I could put an order in for roughly a million primers (a buddy of mine just got his manufactures license and we split the cost for a couple automated Dillon presses).

Hi, I am new to the 303 and hunting white tail. My enfield only has a flip up large and small hole rear sight. Could you tell me what rear sight you have or tell me which one to get. Ill be hunting in ranges 50-300 yds. Thanks

I believe that we have touched on this subject already martzall80.
Your flip sight is setup for 300 and 600 yards respectively with the 300 yard peep having the larger hole. Leave the rear sight alone and just use the larger hole. The main peep sight on the Singer Micrometer MkI sight has a large hole to sight through no different than the large hole on the flip sight and will gain you nothing if you swap one for the other. Shoot the rifle the way it is with your choice if ammunition and teach yourself where that load hits starting out at 50 yards using the larger hole. Once you have that rifle dialed in for you sighting in with the larger hole, flip it over and try sighting in using the small hole.
