Hello Guys,
I just received an e-mail from my brother requesting information on any dealer selling Savage 303 ammunition.
The following is part of his e-mail:
Norah’s grandfather in Owen Sound has an old 303 rifle, passed down to him, a ‘303 Savage’ rifle, and it uses 303 “Savage” cartridges. He told me and LeBaron confirms that the readily available 303 “British” size cartridges will not work in the Savage.
And I was told yesterday by LeBaron Sports that the ammo for the 303 Savage has not been manufactured for several decades. The guy checked his store’s reference books and told me the 303 Savage is a WW2 rifle, and this guy’s reference literature told him most [all?] companies stopped making the 303 Savage ammo after WW2.
Please let me know if you have any information that may help find some ammunition for him.
Jerome
