Hi guys I have an Enfield No 4 with a worn barrel. I am thinking of barreling it in 6.5x57r or 6x57r i.e a 6mm remington with a rim. The latter would be made using 6.5x57r brass.
I am looking for a varmint rifle good for 200-400 yards.
I would prefer to go the 6mm route, I am thinking 1:12 twist with 70 grain bullets.
I think the magazine should work well with it, it seems to function okay with 7x57r, might need a tiny file as case is less tapered than 303.
What do you think, should it work.
I think starting loads would probably be max for this action though so would give up 200-300 fps compared with 6mm remington.
Thanks Andy
