Too much information. Now, I'm confused!
The 'Loaded' military and commercial .303 British cartridges, that I have, will not chamber in the several .30-40 Krag rifles I have checked.
IMHO - It would be quite a task to force a loaded .303 round into a Krag chamber and close the bolt.
(It would be easy to re-form empty .303 brass in a .30-40 F.L. Resizing Die to fit the Krag chamber).
