The barrel is new. I had it fitted in 1998. I haven't used it that much either just a couple of hundred rounds through it. Thanks.

Thank you all for your input. I must admit I didn't know what model it was until now. Also the best shooting I ever had with it was with those Hornady round nose 174gr.

This is a photo of my 303.

Good day all just wanted to let you know that I have just Chronographed the military and Sierra bullets. The military rounds were travelling at 2360fps with a variation of 90fps. the Sierras' were travelling at an average of 2472fps with a variation of 6fps. This does not make any sense now. I...

Thank you very much. I have had the crown checked and they gunsmith says there is nothing wrong with it. I think I'm going to Chronograph the military ammo and try to duplicate those with the Sierras. see if that works. Will let everyone know.

Thanks guys really been a help.

Thank you all for the advise. I use my 303 for hunting. Mainly wildebeest, kudu, impala and reedbuck. I'm not 100% sure what model it is but my great grandfather used it in the boer war. It has been re barreled twice. The stock has been shortened to sporterize it. The last barrel was put on...

Hi All, I would like some advise on my 303 please. When shooting any 174grain military ammo it shoots to point of aim, or there abouts. As soon as I change to my Sierra prohunter 180 grainers then I am about a foot lower. If I increase the velocity would this improve the tragectory of my Sierras?

Hi all, can anyone tell me how I can get my BSA 22 hornet to stabilise the 50 grain coated barnes X bullet?

Thank you all I think I'm going to go with the new barrel. Now just have to find a good quality barrel.

Please could someone tell me what is required to change a 30-06 to a 9.3x62. I have a Husqavana 30-06 that I want to change to a 9.3x63.

My Brno model98 30-06 topped off with a Leupold 1-4x25 Varix 2. With 180 grain soft of any sort hand loaded or factory it drops impala with a head shot at 100m thats good enough for me. with this baby only 2 things can go wrong. me and me.

Good day to you all. Thank you for the advise concerning my .22 hornet. I have taken my time and cleaned it properly. I shot with it on the weekend and it has stopped key holing. Now I need to establish how many shots it will take to foul it to the point of keyholing again. Thanks again.

thanks I will try that and get back to you.

I was using 45grain softs. the barrel stamp says 45 grain. the second lot of ammo was 55 grain sierra varmenters. I've got some original winchester ammo that i will try this weekend. i hope that and a good cleaning of the barrel will help.
