Okay, ran into an empty box that gave me pause. Made by Super Cartridge Co. of Melbourne, and just has "303" for the cartridge. I'm guessing it's a 303 British?
Can't be too new, but it's in darned good shape.

Probably British. Size/shape of box should tell you.

No, could probably get a photo. Was in excellent shape. Gotta stop back there and pick up an old 1970's copy of Koller's Shots at Whitetails that they had. Been meaning to pick one up.. Rick, how would shape/size of box help? Looked like a normal 303 Savage sized box, have to admit I don't know what a 303 British cartridge or box looks like (and don't much care ).

Whats the headstamp? Fine print?
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

303 British would be 1/2Inch taller than a normal 303 box,, There about the Same Width,Same Length. Steve

Jed, it's an empty box so there's no headstamp. Just thinking that if it was a 303 Savage that it would make a nice decoration. Can't be too many Australian boxes in this shape lurking around, I wouldn't think.
I'll probably grab it, I think it's $8 or so. I'll post pics..

Calhoun,I cannot find any reference that Super made 303savage ammo,(I maybe wrong)I would say you have a 303 british box! I may have some old super 303B brass if you want.Exporting and importing maybe a problem. Lionel

Thank you.. I figured it was 303 British. Nah, I don't need the brass, though maybe I should send the box to you? Actually.. if I get the box, then I should probably pick up a Savage Enfield to go with it, no?
