I have a SMLE Mk3 that I fired this past weekend. First round fired and extracted fine....I should have looked at it afterwards. Fired second shot and the case head separated. These are not reloads so I was thinking there is a head space issue. Bullets are Sellier & Bellot FMJ 180 grain 11,7 g No 2909.
Went back and looked at the first casing and you can barely make out that it was close to failing as well.
Anyone have a GO and NOGO gauge for a 303 British?
