Reloading with salvaged components from 303 milsurp ammo.

[muffett.2008]

Nothing wrong with the brit. and aussie cases, been repriming them for years, once the original primer is removed and crimp removed, they are ok.
Use them in rapids, snaps and walkdowns, so if I lose a case I'm not crying.
Primers are still available for all sizes of berdans.

You mean like these fine once fired examples?




Radway Green Mk.VII .303" SAA 1952.

Y'all must have left all the dog vomit ammo over here. And NO primers.

Well, you gotta admit, you lot gave the poms a hard time once.
Those cases are suffering from age, splitting. If they make it past the first firing ok, then neck anneal, it will sort that problem out.
As to berdan primer supply, another forum recently discussed this problem.
