You need to find a sporting goods store. I have no problems finding .303 ammo.

2nd Amendment Sports on Pima, where Jensens used to be, had a bit of .303 in stock last time I was there. It wasn't cheap since it was commercial, but it won't blow your rifle up.
far...right

Or sell the 90 dollar Enfield and buy a 336

Not unless you enjoy extracting a blown out mostly shredded piece of brass from your rifle every shot.

You probobly heard they shoot the bullet AKA a .308 diameter bullet reloaded in a 303brittish case instead of .311 diameter bullets. Not actualy shooting a 30-30 reloaded round in it.

DING, WINNAH!


Accuracy might be off a bit since 30-30 bullets are undersized for the .303 bore.

Wow, those brass dimensions are awfully close besides the rim.

Does .303 headspace off the shoulder or the rim? I'd imagine the rim.

They don't seem that close next to eachother

Close?! Not really... :laughing:

There is only one dimension that measures the same. All others vary from .003" to .350"

People fire-form brass like that all the time. I still would not do it, though.

Try it and report back! Make sure your hospital has wireless internet first. :flipoff2:
