The first thing you need to do is to FORGET everything you have learnt about reloading and do the complete opposite .
These sites will give you somewhere to start from
Cast Boolits
Cast bullet reference on lead alloy's, min / max pressure, lube, shrinkage,
Lead and lead fumes are poisionous so take precautions or very bad things will happen to you very slowly. :sick:
Never ever let any water or moisture or even a drip of sweat drop into your molten lead or onto your casting equipment ..... very bad things will happen to you very fast if you do. :oh noes:
.303's vary considerablely in bore diameters.
Slug the barrel of the .303 that your loading for so you know what size to swage your projectiles to.
