    Also coarse sawdust, polyester fluff from a discarded pillow, worn-out tumbling media (corn or walnut). It really isn't necessary to waste food for this.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

As it is a rimmed case and the rim creates the head space I assume this is not an issue and they will fire form to the correct dimension. Is this correct? Or do I need to pull bullets and fire form them without the additional pressure of the bullet?
    Surely you don't mean to fire someone elses handloads? Do you know the guy who loaded them?

    converted cases

    when I fire form my brass I use UNIQUE, rice krispies, they do not create a heavy wad, and pack hard. they keep the powder against the primer and disintegrate when fired. then I push the case neck into a bar of ivory soap to seal it and fire it up into the air, that creates more pressure on every thing and WALLAH!! you have it.

    I have reformed 4 or 5 different brands of once fired .303 Brass while developing my case forming process. The cases are close enough to the chamber size that I never considered a separate fire forming process. I just used my standard load and shot them up at the range. I have had one case burn though about 1/2" above the rim. It was a metal defect in the brass and it caused no problems.
