A British .303 round is devastating. A friend of mine has a Canadian manufactured Mk IV Enfield from 1943. We took it outside into the woods and fired a few rounds, one of which took out the lower trunk of a small tree upon impact.

The best way to kill an enemy sniper is with your own snipers...

It is said that the Americans entered WWI with a target rifle, the Germans used a hunting rifle, and the British used a battle rifle.

Years ago I had an Ishapore arsenal Enfield in my hot little paws. It was rearsenaled for .308 NATO

The shop owner talked me out of it saying they had feed issues.
I don’t know why he talked me out of a sale.
I still wish I had bought that .308 Ishapore

I haven’t seen one since.

Not this one. The old guy that I knew who did business with them spoke only with respect when he said something about "them limeys".
