Very little left, hoarded by those who have it due to it's accuracy, and so not cheap at all. Even when it was more common it was often dearer than factory as full bore shooters would happily pay premium for it. Only other option is to learn Berdan priming and then you can get old military brass for next to nothing, anneal, and load. Cheers.

In recent times there has been plenty of PPU and S&B 303 ammo available.

Probably the Greeks have sold most of this off by now. It dried up in the USA years ago, but there was one importer that secured a lot of it from Greece about 3 years ago and it was all sold on the open market in about 1-2 months.
