Thread: Old powder wrecked reloading gear.

About 1964 the .303 rifle I bought came with about 300 loose cartridges date stamped from 1918 to 1952 and of every type you could imagine.
There were some with big round noses, red tipped ones and ordinary military type solid.
Very few refused to fire but man there were a lot of hang fires.
The old deer culler I bought the rifle off warned me to count to 10 before opening bolt.
Shooting a goat walking through trees it was sometimes, click, then keep aperture sight on him, then boom.
Some bullets kicked more and were louder than others, but as I said I don't remember many not going off.
Great fun for a young fella and all in one piece.
