hi,
I have two 303 Enfield Riflesicon. One is a Savage and one appears to be a BSA that went through Turkeyicon. The Savege seems to have more of a problem with case head separation than the BSA (with same loads, getting up around 40+ of IMR 4895)...so, I tried some Trail Boss 10 to 11 grains behind a .312 (32 caliber) 100 gr lead cast bullet (waxed). This was fun to shoot. I haven't worked up an accuracy load. It was more like shooting a 22LR.
I tried 150 grain FMJ bullets behind Trail Boss and one of the bullets became lodged in the barrel about 2 inches from the muzzle...so I don't recommend anything but lead bullets.
Nothing new or exciting here...just fun and I thought some of you guys would be interested.

p.s. when the 150 grain bullet became lodged in the barrel some of the pressure escaped around the bolt face and receiver and it sounded like air being released from a tire (kinda)....sounded like a 2 to 3 second release of pressure, out of the vent holes near my face. so if ya gotta try it stick to light lead bullets and powder like TB.
