It’s a tracer, they call out blue for incendiary rounds, tracers can be orange, red,maroon brown, purple ect, as there is red, green, dim, and IR tracers as far as I know
I seen some of these for...

Tracer by the looks of them, could be a IR tracer and not a visible one perhaps
Forum: Military Rifles
Personally they should have improved the old 308 round, they could have done something like a slight up pressure of it with propellant made to get the best velocity out of a lighter bullet. Thus...

Read up on the British specs for 303 British head space, the SAAMI specs are tight which is why just about all US made 303 brass has rims that are to thin and create head space issues, ppu makes...

This one is kinda loaded because it depends on what AR-15 we are talking about, I have learned over the years not all AR-15’s are nice easy recoiling guns I actually had one that had more dam felt...

I have been looking into the NOE mold 205gr .316 one, thinking it would be fat enough to fill the groves on all my rifles, but still unsure where I want to go load wise I’ve heard 4227 loaded to...

Do any of you guys load for 303 a lot? Have you guys found any particular load/bullet combos that have performed well across a few rifles? I have a few in my collection?
Forum: Military Rifles
They probably used WWI era Russian ammo which I think is about a 148gr flat or open base bullet most likely simular to the Tula made 7.62x54R. They may of also used heavy ball too.. you would need to...

I did watch that guys video about the 71gr of powder kinda nuts it worked as well as it did, from seeing what he had for results I almost think the powder pellet the British used was made from 4F.

Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I just seen both that guys videos got like 55 and then 71.5gr of powder, think he needs a 200gr bullet though.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
So I’ve heard black powder is better at bumping up bullets to grove diameter then smoakless powder is.. my question is would BP bump a .308 jacketed bullet into a .303 bore if it was a open base...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Have any of you tried to load, shoot BP in the 303, I know the original loading was 70gr of powder with a 200gr bullet, how ever most people can only get around 50gr in a case. I have read of a few...

Hard to say because of the Ukraine and Israel thing going on both are being supplied with 5.56, I am told lake city canceled all commercial ammo sales
Forum: Military Rifles
Depending on where the next “war” is it will either be loved on seriously hated by troops, either way tactics and training will have to change some to reflect a drop in ammunition carried by each...

What sort of velocity you get out of that load? And what hardness of lead are you using? I only ask because I have a few lbs of 4350 and the only other rifle caliber I shoot anymore is 223
Forum: Military Rifles
What your brass look like after shooting that load?
Forum: Military Rifles
I’ll have to try the 2400 at some point I was thinking on trying it in place of IMR 4227 for the 200gr NOE bullet
Forum: Military Rifles
yeah, a person needs to really have a .312, .314, and .316 one to do lee Enfield's, i am going to start with the .316 version as it was recommended to me by a guy who dose alot of shooting with them,...
Forum: Military Rifles
The NOE mold is on my short list of ones to get probably going to snag a .316 one as I got a Lee 180gr .312 mold I use for smaller 30 cal stuff.

From my understanding the no 1 Mk III action could not take 7.62 for a very long time as was found by the Australians who converted a number of them, if I remember correctly they would of needed to...

What I figured but I wanted others to weigh in on it, I don’t really plan on full house 303 loads but a lot of the load data out there is only given in min and max and I figured 303 data would not...

Any of you guys reload cast or jacketed bullets for LE rifles in 303? If so what bullets/powders do you guys like to use? I ended up getting a few of them recently for a good price
There might might be I would also make sure you didn’t get sent one for a pietta, and also make sure uburti didn’t change there revolvers since you bought yours, I know of of them has changed a few...
