40-80 rounds is all I need, check my sale list and will swap for brass or buy it

Hey Boomer,
In my experience it would probably be a good idea to buy new 303 British brass. Reasons for this is:
The chambers for enfields vary ALOT from rifle to rifle, even if you full length resize once fired cases it may not fit
New brass will form to the chamber of the rifle you have, I would suggest neck sizing after the 1st firing.
The head space in enfields vary ALOT, so having new brass formed to your specific chamber will help your brass last longer, and will minimize the case from cracking off in the chamber.
Just my 2 cents.

bOOmer, Slingshot is right!! Many years ago when I started reloading, one of the first cartridges I loaded was the .303 British... When my local gunsmith finally got tired of removing separated case bodies from my SMLE, he put me wise to SSs' info. Actually, it only took two removals--I'm a slow learner, but seldom forget good advice.. Good shooting.
