So finally decided to do some accuracy testing with loads in a 140$ sporter, all testing was done with 200gr Gc cast, I mounted scope on gun and started testing gun liked 30.5gr of h4895, first testing resulted in a 5" 5 shot group at 100m for the next range trip neck sized only same load groups shrunk overall best being just Over 4" so aside from brass life think there is definitely an advantage on fire forming so it headspaces on the shoulder instead of rim.. On a side note got the same gun down to a 2.75" group today after I cut barrel down to 18.25 and floated the barrel, after all was just a ishy sporter
 
I've been reloading 303 for awhile make Ammo for 6 enfields, and have had collet dies for 2 years now.. But finally decided to segregate brass by gun

Yes, I've got 3 Enfields and am starting to reload and learning (remembering) how to sort brass by rifle.
 
It is a pita.. When you have multiples I went and grabbed 12 plastic containers from dollarama.. Two for each gun one for loaded ammo and one for spent.. I need a new reloading room... Lol
 
Yes, each of my guns has its own ammo boxes so brass doesn't get mixed. Also makes it easy to track how many firings you are getting from the brass.
