The previous standard NATO round was the 7.62× 51 mm (based on the.300 Savage rifle cartridge and designed to replace the U.S. military's.30-06 Springfield rifle cartridge).

With the U.S. military adoption of the ArmaLite AR-15 as the M16 rifle in 1963, the.223 Remington was standardized as the 5.56 × 45 mm.

 Remmington Core Lokt .303 projectile question - Gun and Game Forums
It was the standard British and Commonwealth cartridge from 1889 until the 1950s, when it was replaced by the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO round, and in the 1980s by the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO (.223 in) in most roles.
The.303 British (7.7 x 56 mm R) is a rifle and machine gun cartridge first developed in Britain in the 1880s as a blackpowder round, later adapted to use cordite and then smokeless powder propellant.
It is a rimmed cartridge and is therefore not entirely suitable for use in modern automatic weapons, but remains popular due to the large number of surplus military rifles chambered for the round which have been released to the civilian market, some of which have subsequently been modified for sporting use.
