Any source info would be appreciated. Thanks!

They also used Noncorrosive Primers for this latest ammo. Production is just sufficient for the much reduced use of this calibre (Training and Police duties, and some LMGs (Brens) still in use in .303---most were converted to 7,62 Nato.). Both Factories (POF and KF) satill list .303 as a production option. But all the 1960s and 1970s Pakistani and Indian .303 thay may be surplus is definely Cordite and Corrosive.
