The big brown truck came today, and left me 480 rounds of Greek surplus BOXER PRIMED .303 Brit. I guess I'll be having lots of those cases around to reload after I shoot them all!

Nice score. That should keep you going for a couple of months.
Last range session was the first time I shot my Lee Enfields in a while.
I was Deadeye Dick with my No.4 Mk.1 that day, was shooting real good. Need to see how this stuff does compared to my usual reloads.
And then reload them!

Yep, .311" 175 grains

Nice score on the .303 ammo. How bout a picture of the head stamp. If you neck size when you reload them you might get 3-4 or more reloads . 1,440 or 1,920 shots. Great deal.
Too hard to keep the brass separated since I have more than one Lee Enfield, so neck sizing is out.
My cheap camera refuses to focus that close. The headstamp is just HXP on the top, and 69 on the bottom. Primer is crimped in.
