I shoot .308 bullets in a couple of mine that have good bores 180gr Hornady Spitzers & in a couple of worn Speeders I shoot Norma 196gr .318 bullets .

Before that the Hornady 174gr RN & Spitzer,...

I actually just rang him to say I need to give him more money as barrel is excellent, he couldn't get the bolt out because of the P&H sight & assumed it was poked !

Yes one of mine & looking much better now with a Lee Speed Full Rib barrel fitted as opposed to the stuffed MLE barrel that was on it then.

As stated above .375 in the Speeders is the .375 EX 2...

Yes I use a few of those in the real old Speeders that were regulated for the 215gr slug, but I haven't been shooting any game with them in the 303, lots in the 30/06 back in the day .

I have noticed if I shoot a heap of Nickel full metal jackets out of rough bores it...

I don't think it was the rifle as the other 8 + one I shot after it were Ok but I have shot WAY worse looking ammo than this, it is 1940 & not a patch on your creamy looking ammo Cordite !

Haha, right should have a go at CAC then, it has something to do with the 80yr old ammo !

Looked the same as that unfired cartridge before firing, I don't actually know why it failed ?
