Thanks for that pic Brian, I will have to check to see if I have that catalogue. The 135 grain is certainly a rather pointed bullet, which you would have to assume worked.

I had a close look at my Beesley 1903 and you can see that the cartidge lifting protrusion has been alerted after it was sent out by Steyr even though the rest of the rifle is untouched. One would have to assume it was modified because of the problems as discussed above.
