Actually a realistic video.

Note comments on the rugers bore diameter.

The op needs to slug the bore!
Another good video all be it some of his assumptions of black powder aren't strictly correct but hey ho ..

My comment was to the statement that the 303 is just as accurate as any other cartridge in the same rifle , this is patently not true so not really an inane comment.

You are obviously a 303 fancier as am i but lets not pretend it’s anything it isn’t ?

Let’s celebrate the 303 for the wonderfully historic thing that it is ?

You have put forward no evidence say "this is patently not true” as regards the potential accuracy level of the .303 cartridge - when compared to similar others.

Conversely there's plenty of evidence, including competition results etc spanning decades both at short range & long range (e.g. 200 yard Schuetzen through to 1200 yard Match Rifle) - as to how accurate it can be when use in rifles capable of fine accuracy, rather than military rifles. To highlight the success & demonstrated accuracy potential of the cartridge isn't “pretending it's anything it isn't” - it's merely using documented results to show the cartridge is on 'a par' with many other similar capacity/calibre rounds. It's nothing special as a cartridge but neither is it the reverse.

I'm not a fan of any particular cartridge but I am a fan of accurate information. It does nobody any good, especially the OP to present old wives tales regarding the .303 being (for some unidentified reason) inherently inaccurate or below par as fact.

What bullets were you reloading with ?

I understand some .312" bullets are intended for the 7.62x39.

180 grain sierra pro hunters at the moment to be fair there isnt masses of choice in .303 for hunting bullets now

Firstly the original claim wasn’t similar others it was any other , important to get your facts right if you absolutely must be right and also insist on making an argument where there is none.

Secondly why is any other cartridge used today when there is no advantage because the 303 (which we are talking about not the other examples you introduced) is every bit as accurate as any other cartridge.

You seem personally offended by my comments about the 303 , if for some weird reason that’s the case why don’t you pm me so you don’t derail this posters thread ?

I don’t suppose you could list all the inaccurate calibres so that we could avoid them?
