^^ The data is as follows. .303 Brit. Bullet number: 311299, Bullet gr. wt: 205, Bullet diameter: .313, Powder: DuPont 4198, Charge: 30 grains, Primer: Large rifle.
I doubt that powder is still available. But someone in the past wrote this in the column of that page, 4895-32-303 (Hodgdon)

With these numbers what charge of Trail boss should I try. I only have "pure lead" on hand so I'll have to mix some tin in it. And I'm not sure if this mold is a gas check bullet.
