I've had some really good results with reloading Privi brass - having shot several hundred Privi with my SMLE, and then shooting the reloads...with out any doubt the reloaded groups are half the size.
I was using Privi bullets, but weighed them into 5 groups with 0.5 gn difference between each group - I'm not sure what difference this made, but I found the best results came from neck sizing only - the one-fired case shoulders were a totaly diferent shape...and by neck sizing only they fitted the chamber perfectly...
...if you hold your No.4 with the muzzle on the floor, and drop (literally) a factory round into the chamber; does it rattle, or drop in perfect?
Privi 303?

Re: Privi 303?
I reload 303 and use 35gns Alliant Reloader 10 with a 170gn bullet-necksized only Privi brass.Nice accurate and ecomical load.20series wrote:well I normally shoot 40gns Vit 140, with a 174 canularred bullet
I've just been FL resizing some privi brass.
Ive just put a Simmons 1-5 Whitetail scope on my rifle with the intention of doing Mcqueens with it.
I was impressed with the groups I got. Tbh at £55 per 100 its hardly worth reloading
