Winchester .303 Savage ammo help

[roverboy]

A friend has 2 boxes of Win./Olin .303 Savage 190 gr. ammo and was wondering if they still loaded this stuff. I told him its a obsolete caliber that has been since probably the late 1930's. One box is in decent shape and the other is a little rough. He's wondering if its collectable. I found some Hornady 150 gr. ammo but, no luck on 190 gr. Any help is appreciated.

You can sell it, but don't expect to get a fortune for it. To my knowledge, no major ammo manufacturer currently offers a 190 grain load in 303 Savage. There are a few companies who still sell 150 grain loads.

Actually, .303 Savage IS a collectable caliber.  Original boxes from the '30's can sell for up to $100 each depending on condition and rarity.  This caliber is still produced in small lots by Hornady and Prvi Partisan.  I do not recall ever having seen 190gr ammo before.  But, I haven't really looked, either.

 

It's slightly more powerful than the .30-30, with much of the advantage being the ability to use spitzer bullet which are ballistically more efficient.
