Right, I've decided to abandon the blowing out of 303 cases after careful consideration.
I thinned down the head of a 303 case but even though it chambered it wasnt right and it appears the chamfer on the 410 case head is fairy critical on the 410 I have.
Couple that with the cost of three fireforms (3x charges, 3x primers, wads etc) annealing cost, cost of cases and the general fannying around I'll give it a miss.
Looks like Clay and Game for some 410 brass at a quid a go wtf

Does anyone know if Clay and Game in Hull are just an online trader or can mere mortals call in to pick up goods?
I'm over that way shortly so could save myself some delivery costs if I can pick up :good:

I fire formed 20 .303 cases a few years ago and found that the rim of the .303 case was too thick and I could close the action of my old side by side .410, they fitted fine in my bolt action .410 though. all said and done a box of Magtech .410 brass is the way to go.
