I have read that the original BP 303 British used a compressed pellet of 70gr. black powder and a 215gr. jacketed bullet. Must have been VERY compressed to get that charge in the case!
The cylindrical case was apparently charged with the compressed powder prior to necking just as it was with the cordite charge.
They also had Metford rifling which would be important as small bore BP rifles foul terribly.
