    A harsh lesson about sticking sharp tools into the chamber of any rifle. Once you score the chamber, you will have big time extraction problems. Anyone who reloads for the .303 Britishicon, please, please spend the $25 on a military broken case extractor for your tool box. It will make these type problems nonexistent.

    I think we said it in time in the previous thread. I'm one of "those people" who insist on leaving things better than I find them...which I suppose includes threads like these.

    I didn't have one, but ordered one shortly after OP's original thread, along with a neck sizing die and more brass...Until now I only had 40 cases I from the 2 boxes of ammo I bought with my first enfield about a year ago. Fired and full length sized 5 times with very mild loads. Still, these threads confirmed it's only a matter of time.
