The Enfield served the British Army for over 50 years and accounted for itself quite well. It was the fastest of all bolt action rifles and there are numerous accounts of well trained riflemen fending off numbers larger than their own.
Concerning the .303 cartridge, it is not as powerful as the 30-06, but then again, I would not care to be hit by one. It was good enough for rendering H'ours de combats then and now.
