Hi all,
I realize the old .303 British might not be a hugely prevalent cartridge in the US (most of the 24hcf members residence), but I am curious to know if anyone out there has heard of, seen/used, toyed with the idea, or actually gone and done it, and created a wildcat based on the .303 British case being necked down to .308 diameter.
I realize this may seem a bit redundant with the difference between the two projectile sizes (.311 vs .308) being very minor, but there does appear to be a greater selection of projectile types and weights available in .308 calibre.
Just for clarification, yes this idea is also in conjunction with having a suitable .308 barrel reamed to a wildcat chamber of 308-303 (308 British???), and not just firing a .308 projectile down a .303 (.311) barrel.
My searches for such a wildcat on the net have so far been fruitless. Any one out there with knowledge or opinions on such a venture would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Aussielad.
