With some help of a website I wanted to see if you re-chambered a late Enfield No.4 MKII 303 British to a 7.62x54R Russian Surplus round how would it like it. They have solved almost every issue, and it is shooting very well with ammo that is less than $4 a box. The last issue is it is shooting way left and to sight it in the front sight is .110" off center. I should have shot the rifle first with 303 but I did not. The 303 is a 3.13" bore like the 7.62x54R and both are rimmed cases the Russian being just a little fatter. Both rifles shoot a 1 in 10" twist rate, the 303 is a 174gr bullet at 2,250fps and the Russian is a 148gr at 2,880fps, chamber pressures are very close. It is a left hand twist barrel, some say the velocity would not affect windage like that and others say that is the problem. What do y'all think?
Big velocity increase and shooting way left
