Hi, recent posts on this and other bb's suggests that the 358 WIn is experiencing a lot of interest - maybe even a resurgence. Got me to thinking (Uh Oh,as my boy would say - dad's having a seizure!). IF the 303 Brit isn't all that far behind a 308 win, then a 35 based on the 303 brit shooould be kind of dandy? Put it into the ugly but very fast and slick SMLE action, maybe with a Jungle Carbine config, would make a GREAT brush gun, especially for pigs. Anyone got any thoughts, or should I just go and take another green pill, lie down for a while until it all passes over?

Roger that! Also, note that Ken Waters wrote up the .375 Express (on the .444) a year or 2 before JDJ brought out "his" .375.

I think you are on the right track and maybe someone not being snooty can tell you who has the reamer and will do the job or rent the reamer. [Wink]

This may not be apples to apples but I never saw a .303 jungle carbine that had even reasonable accuracy. I read an article or two about that ,but I forgot the explanation. [Confused] [Wink]

The split reciever on the Enfield is not known as a extra strong design, and this limits its use as high pressure cartridge reciever. But it does very well with some , such as the 25-303 Epps. Another good book to read, besides the "Old Master"Ackley, is "Cartridges of the World".
