Do you have any loads for .303. Also what bullets do you use.
Does anyone have any .303 brass they no longer want?
Thank you in advance.
If you can get to see some unresized fired cases, so much the better.
L-E chambers can be cut too deep, causing cases to swell just ahead of the web - which means they may separate on firing the first or second reload. Theoretically the shoulder should roll forward, but usually it doesn't because the brass is workhardened by the short shoulder's double-bend.
I ended up shooting factory loads, new cases, or once fired from other tight chambers in my Mk.III*.
