    A bit late now, but Dillon sells a tool for reforming those crimped primer pockets. Works with both large and small primers.

      I shoot a lot of corrosive in my bolt guns. I keep a small bottle of Windex with extra amonia, oil bottle and cleaning kit in my range box. After the last shot is fired and the barrel is very warm I clean and oil it. Have not had any rust problems.

        Just keep in mind that when the rifle was in service, it NEVER shot anything but corrosive primed ammo.
        I shot some Mk6 .303 but I stopped because of it's collector value. only one misfire in the bunch

            Do not forget that if you ever do shoot corr. ammo, wash out the cases also with hot soap an water. But you only need to do this if you plan on useing the cases in reloading.

              Enfield and 303 ammo

              I recently purchased a pile of weapons and one of them was a M2 Enfield ( I think ) and it came will roughly 1500 rounds of 303 ammo. I would like to sell this stock, gun and ammo. Please tell me what its worth. Ive seen the guns from $300.00 to $600.00 depending on model and condition. But what about the ammo? What would be a good price to sell it all?

              Thank for your help

                Hard to say in the ammo without more of a description. Most of the .303-in-quantity stashes are going to be old ammo, WW-2 vintage, some will be the click-bang variety... Starting price for mst milsurp would be in the $40-$50/100 range I guess.
