    In actual practice, a bit of extra force on bolt downturn will "re-size" the .303 shoulder enough to chamber the round fully in a U.S. Krag. Firing it would definitely not be recommended primarily...

    Wording actually is indicating that the rifle it fits was manufactured by/for "U.S. Military" - just reflecting how Numrich organizes their website. Detail copy clearly indicates it's a reproduction.

    The shorter anvil means it's likely to need a deeper impression (stronger strike) to ignite. That's probably how the #34 gets its reduced sensitivity.
