Hey thanks for this! Current ammo supply issues have me dry on bullets and powder for .303 but that spam can of 7.62x54r collecting dust in the closet isn't doing me much good, now I can put it to use! Also man people have no idea what they are talking about in the comments, any manual will tell you .303 and 7.62x54R are .311 bullets not .308.

Sized to 311 over 28gr of 5744 my 1918 Enfield holds a 3 inch group at 100 with them but its a scoped rifle that i got for 200 i wish the guy never drilled it but anyway it lets me slam a plate at 50 75 and 100 for cheap

Save your time & money!!! As advised by my gunsmith back in 1986, I've been reloading mu .303british & 7.7X58mm Arisaka rifles with .308" (that's 30 caliber) bullets. My charges were full hi powered loads. Scoped, I usually get @ 1&1/2 MOA! Also they both got me, & my family deer every year. Cast bullets have to be specially sized, but jacketed projectiles "obturate" from high pressure, and are much more forgiving! If your skeptical, try 5, or 10 30 cal. bullet loads. It could save you a lot of time & headache!

The 7.62 mm designation refers to the internal diameter of the barrel at the lands (the raised helical ridges in rifled gun barrels). The actual bullet caliber is often 7.82 mm (0.308 in), although Soviet weapons commonly use a 7.91 mm (0.311 in) bullet, as do older British (.303 British) and Japanese cartridges.

Wolf now has WPA .303 ammo and you can get a 280 round bulk of it for $100-120. Not bad and cheaper than reloading. Slightly inconsistent but no major accuracy issues out of my Mk. 3* SMLE. Groups are about the same as old British milsurp ammo but no duds, hang fires or corrosive primers to deal with

the .303 projectile is .312, the 7.62 is .310, that reloading option is ok if you have a "tight" barrel, if you have an older Enfield there will be a reasonable amount of wear and the 7.62(.310) projectile may in a sense "rattle down the barrel). I loaded some up(about 100) a few years ago for my Enfields (ranging from 1896 MLE thru to the #4'mk1s), also my early production Arisaka type99 and was glad to get rid of them(the bullets) never again

QUOTE FROM MY GUNSMITH. It SURE HAS WORKED FOR ME!!! SHOOTING .308" DIAMETER BULLETS in a British .303, or 7.7x58 MM ARISAKA It is my understanding that, under the pressures generated in modern high-power rifles, slightly undersized bullets deform to fill the groove. So, a .308 bullet is deforming much more when shot in a rifle with a .312 or .313 groove diameter than say a bullet of .311 or .312.

This is a dumb idea all the way around, sorry. Best method: buy new .303 brass and bullets, numerous sources and if, I say IF, the bullets for 7.62x54 are between .311 and .314 (that would put it within Brit specs) then just buy bullets "for" the 7.62x54 caliber. The cases aren't the same, and that cheap 7.62x54 has crimped primers.

NOTE: Most .303 Enfields have "War-Time" Bores, WHICH ARE OVERSIZE! Many Nations (except for the U.S.) were interested in FUNCTION (of dirty} ammo in a chamber; they weren't interested in hi-precision. 100 yds. was good enough. Hence the CHAMBERS as well as the BORE/GROOVES were way over size. My 7.7 Arisaka & Enfield measured .316" groove diameter! Yet my son still gets 1MOA with his scoped Arisaka!!! When the peak Chamber pressure of the burning powder gas slams into a slightly under-sized bullet base , it "upsets" and obturates the gas from blowing past Moreover, Russian 7.62mm projectiles are a mere .002 inches wider than .308". WHAT'S THE BIG DIFFERENCE, if a .308" shoots well in a .316" groove diameter ANYWAY???!!!
