Keep in mind that there are places
in the world where .303 has been a
round used by military and police forces,
for 100+ years...and where, when this
surplus ammo was built, it still was.
I remember being in many sandy or
tropical places in the Middle East, North Africa, and southwest Asia in the '80's
and 90's where the old SMLEs were everywhere. They may not have been
the frontline weapons they had
been a couple of decades earlier, but
there they most certainly were, and on duty. And, so, the reason this ammo
was most probably built.
