Ammo for Enfield No.4 Mk2

Old Sarge · 09-21-2007, 07:58 PM

I am curious as to what ammo to use in my Enfield. I also have a 303 British my dad had brought home after WW2. The bullets for that rifle are the "norma 303 British". I took one of the norma 303s and put it in the Enfield magazine (clip) and it fit like it belonged there.
Is there a difference or is the norma 303 British shells compatiable with the Enfield?

I'm not familiar with a separate "Norma .303 British" round. Are they just .303 British rounds made by Norma? Your Enfield uses standard .303 Brit. ammo which is very common and readily available.

What toolman said is correct. It will take a regular .303 British round.

Google up "Sportsman's Guide" - they have a good deal going on .303 British in their current shooting catalog.

I still have about 250 rds of Greek HXP .303 and 500 rds of South American .303...after that I don't know what I'll get!

All above correct should take normal .303 rounds.

Thanks to all for the info on the 303 ammo. I am getting anxious to fire the weapon and just see if the Old Sarge can still shoot!
