Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada A 223 Wylde chambered barrel

It does suck, but I now have a runabout - a Ford Escape - for light duty work here.

The 30-303 is simply a 303 British, but with a 308 barrel. There are no other changes to the rifle. The big gain, in my view, is that 308 diameter bullets can be used. They are cheaper and easier to find than .311/.312. The magazine doesn't need alteration and a new barrel means better groups.

I talk about my original No 4 and the changes made to convert it to a 30-303. I included parts sources for the rifle, converting your 303 British dies to 30-303 (it's cheap and easy to do). The use of a 303 British body die and collet die, as well as a conventional Redding resizing die. I did bullet crimping tests, selecting a hunting bullet, and load data for 10 bullets. Eight hunting bullets, one target bullet and one cast load.

Since I started my web page in 1997, several questions are asked almost every week. Where can I get mags? Scope mounts? Replacement stocks? Etc. I put them in the book as well.
