Someone must be still supplying the Canadian Govt with factory made .303 as they have only just started to replace the No.4's that the Canadian Rangers are still issued with....so they must be getting stock of .303 from somewhere...??

Federal and Hornaday both still produce factory .303 so maybe it comes from them.
