Ever heard of this one? Seems like if the .303 case was used to launch flat tip 30-30 bullets such as the 170 grain Nosler Partition, you'd have sort of a 30-30 mag. Should be able to get 2400 with the 170 grain no problem.
I think the pressure would be ok as the .303 is held to 45,000 CUP....less than the .375 Win. Marlin chambered the .375 Win in the .336. And the cartridge base would be wider in the .30-.303 Lever which would ease pressure on the bolt?
Overall length the .303 Brit is a good bit longer than the .375 Win with FMJ bullets..don't know about with flat tips.
Was thinking with a modified boltface and carrier one could rechamber a .30-30 barrel.
Just wondering about this and has anyone ever toyed with the idea?
