Anyone know where the thread is on making and loading 303/410 shells. I have searched ALOT.

Thanks

Uses a British .410 or fire formed .303 brass. 2.25". There's a picture of one at the bottom of this page. http://enfieldrifles.profusehost.net/ri6a.htm
This might be of some help for reloading. http://www.endtimesreport.com/410reloading.html

Dang, now I have to try something else...

Use 444 remington brass, it is already to go without the fireforming needed.
The 303 british brass is to small a diameter in the main body of the case and will split releasing alot of nasty gases, don't ask me how I know

The 444 is the correct size from rim up, other then it being a bit shorter then your regular 2.5 inch 410 hull. As for data I will have to dig through the big drawer of things.
