Ok guys, what is the story on this case. This is a new, "never fired," case, but has been around for a while and has miscoloured and darkened in places.
Picture of the base shows it is perfectly smooth, with no primer, or primer pocket!
Looking inside, there is a flash hole through the webb, but it is larger diameter than it should be, judging from looking at it.
The ring around the neck is not as pronounced as it appears to be, in the picture.

Action proving dummy with the bullet gone--the cases are usually stained a dark brown but it wears off as they are used. They used to be available in sets for the firearms safety courses.

Looks like the perfect reload to pass out at the hunt camp. :evil:

Fill it with sand, put a bullet in it and hand them out to your buddies that shoot .303 at the camp. :stirthepot2:

Yes - I am sick and very twisted... :)

Kinda...now if you mentioned it was a grizzly hunt camp........:eek:
 
It doesn't appear to look like a 303 British case.

The 303B has a tapered case, this one seems to be a straight wall.
 
The dummies with flat bases are a PITA. No matter how much you tell students, they still think they are rimfire. I have eliminated as many of them as I can from my stock. Now the ON CFO has mandated the primer pockets have to be filled in blue and the bullets have to be painted blue. There has to be a band of blue tape aroundthe barrel of the disabled firearms. Almost got a buzz from the blue nail polish.

What kind of glue are you sniffing? A straight wall case is like .38spl, .357mag, 45-70G etc.

Did you even understand what I wrote?

Here's a pic of some of my 303 British handloads. Does the shape of this case look like the one in the first post?

The dummy case I started the thread with is a 303 British. Period.
In photography, angles are everything, especially in close-ups. We take a three dimension object, a rifle case, and photograph it in two dimension.
In my original picture, the camera lens was closer to the top of the case, than it was to the base. Presto, it makes the top of the case appear larger, as compared to the base, looking like the case is more straight walled.
This information can all be found in Photgraphy, 101!
