I have a Enfield 303 No4 Mk1 with 5 groove. It is in really good shape and just started reloading for it. I really need some help. I just started reloading for this rifle and went to the range this weekend. I shot 40 rounds that I reloaded and had 8 of these separate. Base part of cardtridge from rest of cartridge. I might have the terminolgy wrong but anyway. Here is what I had as to reloads:
Bullet: 174 grain Sierra HPBT
COAL: 3.075
Powder: Varget
Powder weights: 10 of each - 36.0 36.5 37.0 37.5 = 40
Cartridge: Remington & Winchester
I did notice in almost all instances of the cartridges that the primer was backed out slightly of which I have never noticed on any other reloads with other rifle cartridges that I have done.
I have reloaded for about 3 years and need some guidance. Do I have these loaded to hot? I thought i was below maximum but got it from a book. If anyone has any input on this i surely would be appreciate. It is sort of disturbing.
Thanks
