Thats most interesting..how military designers' minds work in tandem! .. also as the ".303British" is the same(approx.311/.312")bullet diameter as this round, which is incidentially the same as the more modern 7.62X39mm Russian SKS type assault cartridge.
I have tried the latter projectiles in my Enfield made #1 Mk3 ** SMLE -but being shorter OAL the magazine feeding problems stopped them being used for 'rapid fire stage' in SSAA Mil rifle matches.Accuracy was OK for big military targets up to 300m.

If we shooting sportspersons don't hang together... we will all hang separately !
Never knock another's different shooting interest or discipline...REMEMBER we are all but leaves on the same tree of freedom.
