    so...for the 303-25, is the 257 barrel chambered with a 257 Roberts or 250 savage reamer first and then finished with a 303 Brit with a .258 collar on the front of the reamer?? PTG is currently offering a 303-25 reamer set but only for sale not rent. ER Shaw offers new P14 barrels that won't break the bank as well (button rifled 1-10" twist with heavy sporter profile)

    The reason I ask is that I have a complete Winchester P14 action and sporterized stock and I just happened to find a new LEE Precision 3-die set on E-Bay that didn't break the bank. I was going to barrel it with a 300 Win Mag barrel I had on the shelf but I love 25 caliber rifles as well.

    I don't think many in the US appreciate the genius of Elwood Epps nor the versatility of the Enfield and the mad minute.

    I have another 303 wildcat - 303/270 built on a Savage No.4 action. Just starting to load 134gn Lyman GC&PC'd cast boolit.

    Hey BAW! You mentioned you had a spare 303/22 barrel in an earlier post. Is it threaded for a Enfield #4 action by chance? And do you have dies as well? send me a PM and perhaps we could discuss it more.
