Any chance them or IVI can make some more SP .303Br ?

No point worrying about something like that. All kinds of people complain when literally any facility is expanded. Rarely does it turn into anything. This is normal opposition during a comment period that is being sensationalized.

Doubt it.

Keep in mind if you like shooting any of the older military cartridges ammo supply will likely be drying up for most of it so expect higher prices if you can find any at all. PPU (Prvi Partizan) basically cornered that market, but recently Serbia banned them exporting ammo.
