303 British

What current cartridges can be re-worked to form .303 British?
Maybe a .444 Marlin or 30-30 Winchester?

Thanks.

.30-40 Krag brass, which is now harder to find than .303 british. It was a long time ago, but I recall fireforming the .30-40 Krags, using unique and cream of wheat. It was messy.

.303 ammo and brass are fairly available. Why rework another case?

303 British will still be the easiest brass to find . Check new and once fired .

I did see a you-tube video that claimed he was making 303 British from 7.62 X 54R ...
I've never tried it and don't know if any special forming dies were needed and don't know if it even works ... but the search was : Making 303 British brass and the video was by hunttomuch wolfe
I wish I could link you to it but I don't have the computer smarts to do that ...

Your title says 393 British. For a second I thought that was an Aussie or Canadian Wildcat.

And an interesting name for what would likely be about .40 caliber.

Maybe it's different now. When I went looking for 7.62x54 brass a few years ago, it was not easy to find.
