You are correct, that is, if the barrels are not shot out. That is the case with lots of double rifles chambered for 303 Britt.

That is a beautiful double and a very good chambering as long as it doesn't have the Cordite burn that is usual with 303 factory military ammo.

Congratulations.
Tell me of the gun laws in Hawaii. I hear they are quite strict.

One needs to attend a Hunter Safety Program or
NRA Basic firearms safety to acquire a long gun
permit. Then to get a handgun, attend a second
8 hour class to get that.
Also needed is a mental health clearance from your primary DR.

Every firearm that is obtained must be registered at the County Police Dept.

No Concealed carry permits.
I am a retired Honolulu Police Lieutenant and
the Firearms section won't issue me a handgun
permit because I can't show proof I had a handgun class. (You trained me you fools).

Very nice. A guy I know has an H&H .303 and it's such a sweet little rifle. Class all the way around. Enjoy yours.

Thank you. I doubt I will leave AK for HI anytime soon, but the climate and beach babes must be nice!
