Greek 303 174gr FMJ Tarnished

Greek 303 174gr FMJ Heavily Tarnished

What a find! Original .303 British ammunition stored for many years in a military bunker in Greece. This is real military ammunition, not commercial loads; it is extremely accurate and loaded to true military specifications. Exact tolerances are required—and that is exactly what this .303 British ammunition delivers.

Founded in 1874, Pyrkal, known as the "Greek Powder and Cartridge Company", has been the main producer of ammunition and explosives in Greece. They’ve played a crucial role in supplying military forces during key conflicts and have historically been a trusted exporter across five continents.

This is genuine Military Spec MK7Z Spitzer .303 British! Featuring a 174-grain Full Metal Jacket bullet, brass-cased, boxer primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. The Greek HXP (HXP is the headstamp code for the Greek Powder and Cartridge Company of Athens) .303 British is among the most sought-after surplus ammunitions still available. Ideal for use in Lee-Enfield, Lee-Metford, or Martini-Enfield rifles.

This is original military ammunition that is over 35 years old. These rounds are heavily tarnished, and may show signs of surface corrosion, pitting, and discoloration—consistent with long-term storage in a Greek bunker (see product photos). Despite their appearance, these rounds are prized by collectors and shooters alike. As with any surplus ammunition, each and every round should be carefully inspected before use, and we recommend cleaning your rifle after firing.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS AMMUNITION IS HEAVILY TARNISHED / SURPLUS AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE EVERY ROUND WILL FIRE — BY PURCHASING YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THIS FACT
