303 Family

[Bmi48219]

Looking to rationalise my working guns……Thinking that the 303 'family' would fit the need……. Loads can be mild to wild depending on the action….

If so inclined a fellow could thin his collection a little further:

Is anyone else shooting .32 acp in their .303 Lee? Are chamber adapters available for other 32 caliber pistol cartridges? Or is this an exclusively Aussie practice?

I have had a .32 ACP - .303 British chamber adapter for many years now. I’m thinking about getting a chamber reamer to punch it out to .32 H&R Magnum. I’d prefer going all the way to .327 Federal but I don’t think it would like the pressures.

From a quick Wiki search the 303 SAAMI max pressure spec is 49,000 while the 327 Federal Mag is 45,000.
That noted I confess I’m not an expert on either cartridge. I just like the idea of being able to use a single rifle for multiple cartridges.

The 303 is also very accurate in a Canadian Ross Mk X.

Yes and you can spice em up a little. The Ross 1910 is a very strong action

Ive always wanted an enfield rifle since i was a tike helping my grandfather get his ready for deer season. Unfortunately it was sold when he had to go to the nursing home.

Been wanting one, but when i find them, they are the nifty 700$ de-milled ones, or 1100$ with broken bolts, stretched actions per seller ads, or need a new barrel.

But consolidating on a case is truly the best thing to do. At the least it locks you down on 1 or 2 powders and 1 primer size.
