Greek .303 Brit ammo value

[JBinIll]

European countries have a habit of keeping weapons in storage for war reserves long past there usefullness "just in case".Old habits die hard as do lessons learned about being caught short.I've had surplus Swede 6.5 that was made in the late 80s.Some of the 8mm Mauser I saw on the market was Austrian Hirtenberger with late 70s and early 80s headstamps.

Well that makes sense. I mean, Korea kept all the garands and carbines we gave them. I was just expecting Greece to be making .30-06 and .30 carbine as well. Either way, I'm glad they did. HXP is a far different from GDS. Lost in translation, eh?

A few years ago I unknowingly bought a mixed box of .303 dated 1917 and 1918. My temptation was to keep all of the cartridges as historical artifacts but the curiosity devil got on my shoulder and insisted that I try one from each year. Both fired perfectly.
