Does anybody have loading info on the 303 with 215 grain bullets
Hi,

Does anybody have loading info on the 303 brit with 215 grain bullets especially rhino bullets. I would like to know at what speed I'll be looking at as Kobus of rhino has given me a starting load but with no speed. (34 grains of S335 South African powder medium burning) And I would like to know when I would be looking at a maximum load.

I'll be using a lee enfield mk iv no. 1 with a 25" barrel and the actions are not that strong to seriously load. And I would like to avoid any signs of pressure.

Max loads from Hogdons #24 for the 215 in 303British.
H4831 45grains 2001fps
H4350 43grains 2090fps
H414 43grains 2114fps
H335 39grains 2040fps

Test bbl 24", LR primer

If you are loading an SMLE, I'd suggest neck sizing, or partial full length sizing, to give longer case life.

Thanx,

I always do full length sizing anyway. It is just that I haven't used the 215 grainers before.
