One speculation might be the .303, are the primers larger because of the case width or the use of BP or Cordite?

Boxer, of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, England invented the 'Boxer' primer which became predominate in the USA.

One article I read indicated reloading cartridges was common in the early west with simple reloading tools which the Boxer was easiest to replace.

I guess it I had several thousand and could get the primers, might look at it different.
Boxer's are too plentiful and simple to remove.

Boxer has only two sizes Large and small. One of each for rifles and pistols.
