| Whilst you're talking to Steve at 303British ask him about the 303ICBM ?. A couple of New Zealanders got together and improved the 303 cartridge, mainly from a case life point of view. Steve details it in one of his books.

| V - Talk to some of the Aussie members about working on the 303 case. I think it's popular down there and has been done about every way you can do it.......and for the same reasons Americans have done the same to our 30/06 cartridge.
When you've got the military wanting to dump a few million rifles on the market, smart shooters don't look a gift horse in the mouth. They just snatch it up. |

| Check in at 303british.com. I believe there's a note somewhere on that site about US reamer rental companies that have .303 Epps reamers.
I'm way out on a limb here, but I think one might be z-hat, and I believe they can do the rechambering as well. |

| I have been running a 303 epps in a #4 for a few years now,its a great gun for shooting sambar over the hounds,i am currently waiting for another based on a p14 to come back from the gunsmiths. I am also considering having my p14 303-25 converted to the epps chamber .It certainly lifts the performance of the 303 . |

| sambar02, Who is the 'smith your working with? Not Keith Bridgeman at Sprinter is it? He can still cut an improved 303British chamber from 22cal through to 375cal. Cheers... Con |
