How about the old 303 loads - they used to use the long strands that ran the full length of the inside of the case. Apart from being more difficult to assemble at the factory (the strands are fairly tighly packed and would have to be squeezed even tighter when loading through the case neck), did it too result in greater barrel erosion than the modern powders?




I don't know about the 303 British, but Cordite was loaded in the 375 H&H before the neck was formed on the case. The propellant was inserted, then the case neck was formed in the die, and then the bullet was seated.
