Which maker?

Is it still in 303, or re-barrel to 308?

Factory ammo or reloads?

174 gn was the standard 303 bullet weight and that is what I use in all but my hunting 303 rounds.

The Enfield rifles and the 303 round were developed for each other and in my opinion are a marriage made in heaven. :goodjob: :shakeshout:
