Dellboy, I use PPU cases in my Enfields as well. What weight bullet will you be using?

PPU brass, (or HXP if you have some new/once fired)Remington 9 ½ primers, TR140 or N150 for powder. Sierra 174 Smk's (or PPU 174 if you really have to). Neck size only using RCBS neck die as I find that it is more consistent than the Lee Collet die in my rifles.
If you want load data PM me, I will not give load data over an open forum.

I use PPU brass a 174grain bullet with any primers I can get my hands on cheaply. I use 41grains of Vitavouri N140. It works fine in all my 303 rifles. Iv used this load data for years with out any issues in MY RIFLES.

Tr140 / RS50 and Ramshot Big Game give me good results. Try Accurate 5744 if you want reduced loads (about 27gr but check a manual).

Ha, nice one Steve...yes sometimes you do really have to, they were all I could get (although I have found some sierras now....thankfully, not sure it would help with my shooting though). lol
