    .303 manufactured in 1943 by Defence Industries (DI), Canada. "Z" indicates that the powder used was nitro cellulose based rather than cordite.

    Get a little tiny sharp screwdriver and tap one side of the stubb to turn it out. Put a drop of penetrating oil or acetone ( nail polish remover) on it and leave it a few minutes before trying.

    Tip Redding although being top of the line dies, provide a barbaric locking ring system, that will damage the thread of your dies. Solution insert a fine piece of shotgun shot into the thread then...
