.303 British, Hornady 100 Gr. XTP & Trail Boss

I've loaded .303 cases with 100gr XTPs and used them on gophers to achieve detonation. I cannot remember the charge weight but it was the same amount of H4895 that Lee called for to launch a 174gr bullet (I used the scoop). In a jungle carbine it hit right on top of the front sight at 50yards.
Word from the wise, I though that the 100gr would just be long enough to feed from the mag but by the time you seat them out far enough there is nowhere near enough case gripping the bullet.
The effect on gophers and water jugs is remarkably satisfying
