If it is a 303 with Henry rifling then that would be quiet an unusual rifle.

I bought two lots, the paper patched 577/450 for the Martini Henry and 303 flat based to try in my SMLE/No4.

So does shooting flat based bullets in old smle's make a difference compared to the boatail type ??

Apparently it will do, although I've yet to test my sample bullets from BES!
