Ellwood Epps in Ontario Canada did alot of wildcatting on .303. You could try them for more info.

Just in case you or one of your mates are interested I recently found this add in the back pages of RIFLE mag.
www.eabco.com

Bench Rest Magnum Rifles

The cartridges are what caught my eye cuz their rimmed 6.5mm, 7mm, and 300brm.
Might be worth a peek mate.
gooday

Search around the forums, probably in the Aus/NZ section. I saw information on possible sources for such here in Australia. Users (old forums) BwanaBob and Con had suggestions. From my notes: "Simplex still list forming dies for 303/33, not sure about reamers but Sprinter may be the go."

Case capy. would be about the same as the .358, but the .303 guns are likely proofed at lower pressures, so performance would be a bit below the .358. In short, suitable for all non-dangerous game.
