My regular match load is 40.0 grains of Varget with 174 gr SMK. That's a mid-range load for .303 per Hodgdon on-line data, I get about 2400 fps 20 feet from the muzzle.

I've started tracking the number of reloads of PPU cases in two of my No. 4 rifles, but this first batch shot from my Mk 1/3 Long Branch, I don't know how many reloads on them, perhaps 40ish; with the first indication of cracking in the web.
Stanforth, do you have an idea of how many reloads on your PPU cases?
