I have 2 03A3s. A Smith Corona and a RA.
The recoil isn't bad but the steel butt plate can be a pain. I use a 10X shooting coat.
Accuracy can be amazing.
This is 100 yards off a bench with near max load out of a 4 groove SC. RA 2 groove is comperable.
I received 5K rounds of LC brass from JBLM. I had the same issue until I used a SB die. It seems some was fired from a SAW. The second loading worked fine with a standard resizing die.
My son in law is a Baptist Minister with a church of his own. He is also a sworn Deputy Sheriff.
He carries at all times.
I don't worry much about my daughter and grandson.
18 year old Grandson is also a very good shot.
Series 80 Colt Stainless Gold Cup. Biggest POS I ever owned. Inaccurate when it did feed, which wasn't often.
Moved it on down the road at a break even price.
Mine is an 1861 contract rifle built by Wm Muir and Co gifted to me by my Dad. It was given to him by a neighbor when he was 10. He is 94 now.
The rifle has all inspectors proof marks but appears unissued. I haven't fired it since I was a teen but am getting the urge.
For the price and for your purpose you can't do much better than what you have IMHO. My AR likes them. I just got 1K for $96 to my door.
I use H335 because it measures and pours much better than extruded powders into that little neck.
