Some questions about .303" Mk.VIIIz ammo

[Mayhem]

...I am waiting for a reamer to be made to finish my bump up dies...The reamer is being made of an original MKVII drawing.

Would you be willing to share the drawing? I've searched but can only seem to find dimensions for the case.

It is not about finding fault it is in a world of litigation it is just not worth saying anything that may be construed as an instruction on what weight powder etc to use and so on then something happens gets to a he said she said. I brought lots of reloading books spent countless hours researching loads in them reading ballistic tables till my head spun on mid flight trajectories V's point blanks for the ranges we shot and studied terminal ballistics to eventually years later end up with a small portion of knowledge that allows me to confidently load my weapons up to what they are capable of all the while keeping in mind their age coupled with years of accumulated range testing and competitions. You cannot get anywhere unless you do the yardage like we all did I explained to you about same rifles from a factory being different animals and may not digest the same load equally giving the same accuracy. If you feel threatened and think I am brusque then I am sorry if you feel that way it was not the intent just the plain facts that to get somewhere sometimes the only way is getting on the horse and seeing where it takes you. And truly it can be a fascinating ride there is plenty to learn, I had a few fails in my loads especially with Win-748 the 303's hated it but that is life buy ~ try and see what goes for me it is AR 2209 that is works well but that's just my rifles others may find a different powder that works.

Due to the age and unknown maintenance and modifications of ex-military weapons there is always an inherent risk of personal injury including death, even when properly loaded ammunition is used. Inherently, reloading ammunition can be dangerous even in new weapons - Adding to this ammunition risk, many milsurp weapons are often well over half a century old with no knowledge of their maintenance and modifications over the many years while in civilian ownership.

Closing thread now, as I don't see where else it can go from here ...
