akka Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 My boy found these old 303 cases and noticed that one (on left) has a regular round firing pin dent in the primer while the other has a lozenge shaped primer dent. After a bit of googling, I think that the lozenge shaped one may be from a Bren gun? Can anyone shed some light on this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akka Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Nice one, thanks for the upload👍 That's a big fat firing pin, I wonder what the logic behind that was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no idea, i am sure some one here will know, but i am not that man. I never had a 303. but i used to have a mate give me old brass he threw out for me to load .410. I got some with the chisel primer dent. I asked he he said they were from bren gun . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenknight Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Possibly due to the rate of fire and longer to wear.. just a guess though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
