Those are all pre WW1 rifles with the bolt cover and magazine cut of. Eight pounds five shillings ($16.50) for the cheapest, and with a pistol grip stock too. Possibly the .375 cartridge was just a...

Greetings bumblefoot and all,
A nice calm day today so I finally got to do a rough sight in on my latest new to me .303. As reported earlier in another thread the rifle was given to me by a friend...

Greetings All,
Have just been up to my bench to put a couple of rounds through my new to me No1 .303. It is close to centre at 60 metres so will do a final zero at the range on Sunday. ome Grandpa...

Greetings bumblefoot and all.
I think for me it is the association with people I know or more often these days have known. The current .303 of interest was given to me by a friend who can no longer...

Greetings again akaroa1,
What was the load you were using? Those last three shots are a pretty decent group regardless of the sights. Probably the first time it has been fired in a bit.

Greetings akaroa1 and all,
Well I survived that well. Any envy quickly turned to sympathy for akaroa1 when I saw that brutal but plate and remembered some very impolite things said about vintage...

I get a reasonable chin or jaw weld aided by some natural facial padding but thats just me.
GPM.

All that and with iron sights too.
GPM.
PS. The dog looks so happy I have to ask. Did you shoot the deer or was it the dog?

Thankyou akaroa1,
Over the past week or so I have developed some coping straregies and have a back up plan of a quiet room with some soothing recordings of rifle fire on the range that I have...

Greetings bumblefoot,
I am going to scope my latest .303 but I am dithering about mounts. The rifle has bee drilled for a Parker Hale base and I have both some low and high rings that I could use...

Greetings bumblefoot and all.
This thread has struck again. Barrel looked very good until I ran a couple of patches through it and it looked even better. From a friend as surplus to requirements....

Greetings,
I have found that the 174 grain Hornady round nose has given excellent accuracy in 3 different barrels, one of them badly pitted. Can't comment personally on performance on deer though....

akaroa1,
You are a very bad man. Fancy posting pic's of a rifle like that without prior warning. I fired a Remington rolling block in 50-90 IIRC and a Remington Hepburn in 38-55 many years ago which...

I am part of that extensive club as well. Contemporary reports on accuracy or The Riger No 1 in .303 varied between tack driver and poor accuracy which put me of rather. Hard to justify when you...

Greetins All,
I think I have part of the answer to that question. My No4 with a near new two groove barrel often shoots MoA groups with the 174 grain Round Nose Hornady and light loads. It is...

Greetings Micky and Scout,
That was my thinking. Some data for the two groove barrels that I found gave the bore at .304" and the groove from .316" to .318". The dimensions were developed to suit...

Greetings Scout,
Thanks for your reply and kind words. I would be most interested in some more detail on your .308 projectiles in the .303 (.314) barrel. I had read of people using partition...

Greetings Scout,
If I may offer some words of caution about AR2201. AR2201 was replaced by AR2206 around 40 years ago. The Oz Army found that AR2201 produced variable port pressure in the 5.56 and...

Greetings Micky Duck,
I read your post on the .22 Savage with a .223 inch groove barrel and thought "Micky has just reinvented the .219 Zipper". This is the .22 Savage shortened ever so slightly and...

Greetings Micky Duck,
I detect a case of singleshotitis, a newly described disease the afflicts many Riflemen as they approach their mature years. It is often accompanied by declining interest in...

Greetings Again bumblefoot,
I seem to have developed a strong liking for single shot rifles. Surprisingly there seems to be plenty available well north of a century after they were rendered obsolete...

bumblefoot you are a very bad man for drawing my attention to that rifle. The only thing that may save me is that it is a far too pretty rifle to take in the bush. Still good to know that there are...

Greetings All, Here is my Martini chambered for the .30-40 Krag aka the 30 Purdey Flanged Nitro Express on one of its walkies in the Kaweka's. Light loads are used with in a 140 year old...

Greetings bumblefoot,
I think that question has been answered. The .303 has a strong case approaching the capacity of the .308. Some have improved its performance in a P 14 up to .308 factory level....

Stop it you smooth talking devil. You will get us all into trouble. I have seen just one .303 double rifle and I really don't want to know what they cost. Had an old Martini Enfield but the barrel...
