Recently came upon a fairly decent pile of .303 Brit brass.
Looking up the specs and dimensions it looks like it would be a candidate for conversion into 7.62x54R the only major concern is the rim is .03" smaller outside diameter.
Havent looked at SAAMI paperwork yet, or dug out some factory loaded 54r to compare more precisely. But figured i should post this asap and hopefully get some good responses in the meantime.
Looks like roughly same charges, same velocity etc, so i imagine the cases can hold roughly the same pressure.
Let me know what you think or if youve tried this before and have any advise/tips etc.
TIA!
