    Cheers bd6

    Thanks bd6 I have not played with reduced loads just ensure the case load is above 50% so there is no chance of a double load I am fairly lucky in the fact that 20 years ago I started hedging gear away for the 303's so running FP loads is not an issue as when the barrels shot out I machine them in half hang 'em up with a dummy Mk VII round or a Mk VI round in the chamber they look really good.
    My first 2 I did with a 1mm 100mm cutting disc and boy do they look dam rough but still a good conversation piece for a laugh. Thanks for the reply I wonder if Elmer Keith was alive he could perhaps say whether he had ever seen the rare occurance.

    Ha!! Doubt it, old Elmer was stuffing as much powder as he could in cases. When the gun broke,,,, He blamed the gun!!

    I know a man locally that professes "If the gun won't take full house loads and a few grains over, better junk 'er right now!"
