Terry: I don't have any .303 British cases for you, but I do have some interesting tidbits. When "Saving Private Ryan" was being filmed and the crews needed all those empties seen on the beach, they used .303 British Enfield cases because they were so damn inexpensive. Graf$Sons out of Mexico, Mo., supplied the cases, some 250,000 of them, to the scene company which built the beachhead landing scene. Someone, somewhere, must have a boatload of sandy .303 British Enfield cases laying around. I learned this when I was doing a story on Graf & Sons for the newspaper at which I worked in the 1990s.
