Default Old .303 Savage Ammo

Could somebody tell me if a box of 20 cartridges - .303 Savage ammo - be of any interest to ammo collectors?

I now reload for .303 Savage (pictured in my avatar) I sold some vintage Dominion and Imperial boxes of factory ammo for 100.00 per box a few years back.

Unfortunately the Hornady stuff is 150 grain.

I was looking for 303 savage brass and the cheapest I saw was $100 for a bag of 100. I do have lots of boxes of ammo left but i am looking at reloading my own. This gun is definitely not cheap to shoot lol

Default Price you pay for obsolete calibers

It will be as cheap to shoot as any other round it's just getting the brass and dies. Hand loading 180gr RN will be as close to the factory 190gr as you will get.
