Thanks Ben and Benny, An excellent take on the good old 303, Years gone by here in Australia there were plenty of ex Mil rifles sporterized in 303 and also re-barreled to the wildcats. The interesting one for me was the 303-270 created to use the Mk 7 charge. By pulling the 303 projectile from a Mk 7 round then running it through a die and seating a 270 pill (usually 100grain) you had a very effective game round. In 303 140 and 150 gr projectiles were very popular. You have brought back some greet memories.Subscribed . Cheers from Down Under
Thanks again mate. I really hope your Videos start to get more views with the format that you present them in they deserve it. Also love the Kangaroo Pic.👍
Terrific video. Thank you. I was particularly interested in the issued bullets. I had no idea that the MKVII had aluminium in the nose of the core. I had thought that the AK-74's 5.45x39mm was the first to adopt this "poison" bullet as they called it. Didn't the Dumdum bullet have some wood in it? I wonder if the autoclaving was done to conform to the Hague Convention, or was it actually an integral part of the manufacturing process? I'm now going to watch your other videos. 👍 All the best.
My father took several black bear in our remote village British Columbia with his No. 4 mk 1. Back then (late 1960s/early 1970s), nobody was "bear aware" and paid no attention to what garbage was put outside, so the bears would come into town for a feast and then got to be a real saftey concern. I have this rifle now and will never part with it.
This is my first view of you,I like what I see, I'm an American who loves OZ, also this cartridge I own a English #3 mk 2 smile love it, sad the 303 isn't as popular as it was when I was younger but still being used,
well done, earned a sub.

Thanks for the comment. That is interesting about the mk 7. I believe the 303 will still be around for a very long time.
I'm really liking the style of the story telling of these episodes,
Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Thanks for the comment. the The Dum Dum bullet just had an exposed lead core. Im not sure about the Autoclaving, that would be interesting to know.
Between your 9.3x62 and now the .303 British I had to subscribe. So call CUT MY TEETH on a .303 SMLE as a kid. Like your co host buddy too
Thanks heaps. The 303 is great. I’m glad you enjoyed the videos.

Thank you very much. There is definitely something special about 303s and Lee Enfield rifles. 😁
