Thread: Resurgence of interest in the old "Three Oh"?

Well I think a good time & thread maybe to post a warning on shooting off Old ammo, ALWAYS wear shooting glasses & ear protection !!

I mowed the lawn & thought ill stick a mag through that 303 I just got, I had checked & cleaned barrel, it looks good, all matching numbers so didn't check head space (to be fair I normally shoot all sorts of bitser 303's) fulled up the mag with some old millitary rounds, all looked to be in good nick (again I shoot some terrible condition ammo but this was nice) stuck some ear muffs on SANS safety glasses (picked them up, dirty & have trouble seeing sights even with clean ones & only shooting a mag ! ?) shot like a Mad Minute & second to last round blew up, got a bit of crap in the eye & a little in the face, good really from the look of the case, no primer to be found !

The rest of the fired cases looked fine .
