Fraser .303 Velox - Loading Help Needed
20/12/15 01:00 AM

I recently acquired a Daniel Fraser take-down Mauser rifle chambered in Fraser's proprietary .303 Velox round. The rifle was made circa 1896, and is built on a Mauser 1893 action. The rifle is a real beauty and came in an oak and leather case with few accessories. I'd really like to get the gun shooting again and was hoping to get some input from the board. In searching the forum archives it looks like there may be some other other members shooting the Velox rounds.

Jonathan Kirton's new book on Daniel Fraser devotes many pages to discussion of the Velox rounds to include detailed case dimensions on the .303 Velox. The Fraser .303 Velox is similar but NOT identical to the 7.65x53 Belgian/Argentinian Mauser.

Any members shooting the .303 Velox round today? If so, how did you do it? I'm in touch with a custom ammunition maker, but wanted to get some input if there is a "easy way", or at least, a "less hard way" of going about this. The gun did come with a dummy round with which I will confirm the case dimensions.

Thanks for looking in. I'm a new member on the board and appreciate any input. I'll see if I can get some pics of the rifle up.

Thanks,
Ken

- I have been trying to find and purchase an original .303 Velox round without success. I'd love to have a couple to reunite with the gun. If anyone know where I might find one for sale, please let me know.
