    Oh, OK. So, opening up brass by fireforming won't work then.

    Oh, you say it will? Then what's the difference?? Or are we digging flysh*t out of pepper.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    At the time, regular 303 brass was un-necked until, after it was filled. (It makes loading Cordite easier.) Then it was necked, and then the bullet fitted.

    As I said, the .410 rounds are made from those un-necked .303 cases. You can achieve a similar effect to the original un-necked .303 case by fire-forming .303 cases in a .401 musket.

    Forgive but as you had previously said:

    I was not to know that you knew how they were really made.
