Title: Re: 30-40 Brass Requests

Just today, someone brought me a box of .303.  Well he gave me the box after I dug a couple .303s out of his Winchester 94AE in 30-30.  It was a box of Winchester 180gr Power Point.  They go fairly easy into my Krag, takes a bit of extra force to close the bolt, but not a lot.  On the left is an unformed one, on the right, one that I closed the bolt on.  Bullet mics .3105", not likely to produce a whole lot of extra pressure in my .310" groove diameter barrel.  A handy thing to know in case of emergency, but emergency is the only scenario that would allow the use of .303 in a Krag.  I'm a handloader, no big deal to pull the bullets and remove a couple grains of powder.
