    I don't think it was the rifle as the other 8 + one I shot after it were Ok but I have shot WAY worse looking ammo than this, it is 1940 & not a patch on your creamy looking ammo @Cordite !

    I have shot a heap of WW1 stuff & even 215gr Boer War ammo, all went well no problem, now case seps yes but that is normally too much head space with missed match bolt or such !

    25/303 was a great round back in the day, did same work as .243 really & we used a bit of 22/303 on Roo's & Pigs (head shoot Pigs), did the job of 222Rem - 22/250, we went to 222Rem when nicer rifles came along in the form of Tikka & Sako, then 223Rem in Sako & CMC Mountaineer/Howa !
