I doubt Ill put any rounds through it. Never thought much about the rifle back then but all my early years hunting I used a .303 with a lot of millsurp, as did most in the community, Id never never heard of the boiling water thing till the internet came along, we used stephen youngs 303 oil, never forget the smell.
