Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .303 Savage Ammo for Sale
Is 303 Savage still made?
Original Savage ammunition production ended in 1963. Modern .303 Savage ammo is scarce but available from specialty makers like Bannerman Ammo. Brass and components remain difficult to source.
Are 303 British and 303 Savage the same?
No, they're distinct cartridges. .303 British uses a .313 bullet diameter while .303 Savage fires .308 bullets. Brass dimensions differ, making them incompatible. .303 British predates .303 Savage by several years and remains far more common.
What caliber is a 303 Savage?
.303 Savage fires bullets of either .308 or .311 diameter, depending on the manufacturer and era. Early ammunition from Remington and Savage used .311 diameter bullets, with .308 becoming associated with later production. The cartridge was chambered in Savage Models 1895 and 1899, and is distinct from .303 British.
Is .303 a powerful round?
.303 British is a moderate-power cartridge. Firing a 150-grain bullet at around 2,690 fps, it generates roughly 2,400 ft-lbs of energy—adequate for deer-sized game and comparable to .308 Winchester, but well below magnum cartridges like .300 Win Mag.
