Hemburg 1918 - 6.5x53R Enbloc Clip Source Needed

[ireload2]

The reforming process starts with US made .303 British brass. This brass is about .450 to .452 in diameter just ahead of the rim.
You might find a handful of once fired or multi-fired .303 cases to use for process development. Once you have the process mastered it is pretty easy to get 100% yield when forming new brass.
These are Hornady Frontier .303 cases. The 2 outboard cases in the lid are new and untouched. The next pair moving inward are cases that have been formed with 4 dies. Most people can form with 3 and some brass will form with only 2 dies. Forming failures when developing the process usually result in the case folding like an accordion at the shoulder because the die cannot support the small body diameter of the .303 case.

I do plan to reload but I needed the brass. And in reality, Buffalo Arms price on the Dutch wasn't terribly bad. I think I paid $40 a box. I would not want to do that on a regular basis but with no other source for brass and not really wanting to go through the resizing process myself, it seemed like a good option.
