It is more commonly known as the .303 and was invented by James Paris Lee. It has its origin in the United Kingdom though it was first developed in Britain as a black powder round before undergoing adaptation in 1891. The .303 British Ammo has since been produced and stayed in service from 1889 up until the present. It served in world war I, II, the Irish war, and the Greek war, amongst a host of others.
