Yes, the 1953 H re-barreled Lithgow was maybe not fired with a lot of Cordite ammo.

And yes, your boolits will now revive my first (but worst gone) rifle for a new life of adventure. I just won't...

So, update, what have I worked out.

1. The cases were at borderline max dimensions and resisted the gun going into full battery. Especially at the shoulders and rear half of the body. Neck sized...

It sounds like we have a mix up, Bob. You appear to think you sent me what I also thought I received, that is, something near a bore rider nose.

My boolits measure .313" both nose and band, and...

Cheers, will do that. Must say I did not expect this problem as this is a long, bore-rider nose (= lands riding) projectile with its fatter, rear driving bands tucked way back inside the cartridge...

LG has some posts there with very fast velocities, but hard bullets and target shooting. Someone there praised a go-to load with 35grains H414, similar boolit to mine, and 1970fps velocity. Don't...

Thanks PommyMcPomFace and shooternz.

He heh, could be tempted just to stuff it with BP and go. Saying that, BP pressure spikes are no joke. And I'd go for the sulfur free stuff.

As I...

Yes, will likely exit barrel lighter than when it entered. Not surprised at the figures though, cast lead bullets are much easier to push through the barrel than copper jacketed bullets.

Think...

Cheers PommyMcPomFace!

Wow, the 47 grains is pooooshing that boolit out, but pressures skirting at the safety edge of 46,000 PSI, and likely stripping lead off. Still an impressive performance...

Hi, looking for some help. Have not got a chrony but just want it to work safely.

Calibre .303 British, different no 1 Mk iiis and a No 4
All full length 24-25" barrels
