Thread: Resurgence of interest in the old "Three Oh"?

the old girls work......what more praise is needed.....the round itself doesnt give much to the .308winchester and you can now once again get new barrels for the calibre... If I end up with spare $$$$ I would like to get a single bakail 7.62x39mm and reem it out to 303brit....the recoil factor can be managed with loading,but if you look at the stats the old .303brit sits closer to .243 than .308......it was the SMLEs cut down and lightened that gave impression of boot...suppressed they tell me its like .223 .....I shot quite a number of goats and pigs with one before moving onto the .30/30..... shot a few wallabies with .303 years later,got one as spare rifle..sold them on when finaces were tight.....
