For Sale - S&B 303 British brass
This is good brass fired once through my own SMLE No 1 Mk 3*
I know it's not as popular as other makes but I find it OK
I do have far too many knocking around so I am offering it at 5 pence per case plus postage
The cases are all deprimed otherwise untouched

Its S&B sellior and belliot. It will work fine in your .303. Roger the seller lives at the other end of the Country he is un likely to deliver to Bisley as he is approx a 5 hour drive away.

It'll probably need a full length resize first though.

At around eight quid per hundred delivered that is a bargain Roger!
Re: For Sale - S&B 303 British brass
I tried reloading this brass but had too many (5 of 50) case head separations because of the undercut between the bottom of the case & rim & the generally thin brass wall. Also older 303 military chambers have generous tolerances vs newer replacement barrels so the amount of sizing meant the necks cracked up. Annealed first it was of course easy to do but they still suffered separation.
Anyone else had this issue?
HXP no problem & PPU too are ok.

I've been reloading .303 SnB for quite a while now, not had any issues with them. I full size everytime then bin them after 4 reloads. Never had a case separate or any issues. It's nice brass but due to the nature of the 303 I always bin them after 4 times. My PPU cases I use a lot more.

If you load sensibly (and I use a cast 200gr boolit) these cases will last several times around the block
