.303 Greek ammo and brass any good

[351 WINCHESTER]

I have a chance to buy some .303 Greek 1970 HXP loaded ammo.

The asking price is .40 per round loose pack and .50 a round in clips.

Is this a fair price and is the brass of good qulity?

Greek ammo is great and the brass is boxer primed. It is hard to find recently. Since it is reloadable, $8.00 a box is a good price. It is non-corrosive.

Back in the early 90’s, I purchased 2000 rounds of Greek 303, and I wish I had purchased more.

The cases are just fine. The loaded ammo shoots very well for military surplus. Pressures were just fine.

At $8.00 a box, I would buy all of it.

Just for reference, velocities in two different Lee Enfields.
