Dodgyrog's bullets are superb, ooman, we had some for a MAS 36 and a P14, both of which take the same calibre bullet, and they feed superbly, all clustering together in a nice huddle when they get downrange. But they are bullets, ooman, not heads. Bullets...

The mas36 is .308. A P14 is .303 they are
not the same calibre. The cast boolit for the mas36 is .309/310 the cast boolit for the P14 is .311/.312.
Care full badger the wrong size boolit in the wrong size gun barrel could cause problems.

Hmmm, curious. We're pretty sure our pet ooman measured up the bores and found they'd both take the same boolit* Anyroads, the rounds we've been using, a reduced powder load for a 25m indoor range, and they group extremely well.

Take my word for it badger I own a mas36 and a P14 and I reload and shoot reduced loads in both of them they are not the same calibre. You got away with it because you are using reduced loads using cast boolits. If you were using full metal jacket bullets with full house loads you might not of got away with it. As the saying goes a little knowledge can be dangerous. You should never rely on other people when it comes to reloading you should of measured the bore your self.
Naughty Badger.
