Evening, gents. After having them checked over by a gunsmith in a fortnight, I will have eight or nine SMLE No. 1 Mk III's and one Mauser Karabiner 98k to test-fire (many, many times - what a chore 
). I was wondering if anyone had a good online source for some surplus ammo here in Australia? I intend to get a decent reloading operation happening in my garage at some stage but until that time I'd like to get in a few tins of both 8mm and .303 British to tide me over. I'm also looking for websites that will sell me cases and projectiles for both of these.
Lawrance Ordnance have some 8mm Turkish that looks alright at $AU40/100, but I've heard some less than rave reviews (mostly in my other thread about the 8mm ammo) about the Turkish ammo. As for the .303 British, I've heard the Pakistani stuff is quite dodgy and the Greek and South-African ammo is pretty good, though the reliability and impartiality of these sources is questionable. Any ideas?
I suppose what I'm after is an Australian website that will post to my PO box (can ammo be mailed to a PO box this way in Australia, or will it need to be sent to a local dealer or something? I'm still very new to this), take credit card, and sell me some quality, decently-priced .303 and 8mm, or case and projectiles for the same. If it's reloadable (ie. boxer primed), that's even better. Thanks, guys - I only have one gun shop locally and they charge over $1 per round for the .303 and they've no 8mm to speak of.
