Tonight I was given a bag with 200 s & b bullets he was given when he bought a 303 No 4.
Has anyone reloaded with these bullets? and what were your views of them.
I would be using them in a 1917 SMLE.

Yes I had some, from memory they are quite short however they did shoot. Put a magnet on them, they may be the earlier copper washed version, having aid that my 4(T) shot OK with the factory copper washed.

150gr .311's are more suited to a SVD Drangunov than a SMLE.
I will get rid of them for you in my svd no problem.

Beat me to it Tovarisch
If they are anything like the PPU 150gr .311" SP they should shoot well, but wouldn't a heavier bullet suit the SMLE better?.

Sorry Comrade.....
Yes something like a 174gr would be better in a SMLE.
I use 150gr SMK .311 SP's in my SVD and they work a treat.
