S & B ammo
I recently bought an Enfield .303 Brit and some ammunition. I got S & B because it is boxer primed and reloadable. On firing the reloaded S & B, a high percentage of shells came apart about 1/2 inch from the rear. This only happened with this brand. The reloaded R P shells had no problem with same load and bullet. The S & B cases appeared to be very thin as compared to a R P case that I cut open. I suggest not reloading S & B cases, or at least very minimum loads.

S&B in .303 has had a very bad reputation amongst reloaders.
The well known (Sir) Edward Horton (MBE - Manual keeper of the British Enfield), has been a long time promoter of using Privy(i?) Partizan brass as being the best for reloading.

S&B horrible stuff for reloading
The Wolf Gold (made by Privi) is about as good as it gets in BOTH loaded commercial ammo and brass. Even when neck-sized only (BTW, you did buy and are using a Neck-Sizer right?), the S&B was good for maybe two reloadings (and sometimes one). I haven't used the stuff in over 20 years and it was bad then!

The S&B cases are bad stuff, not only in .303 also the .357 mag is trash. I reloaded 50 cases and after shooting i had 12 cases they where torn by the length.
