[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1606232, member: 91402"] Lee-Enfield actions have a lot of flex in the side rails so high pressure causes head space problems. Stretching was even a problem with lots of factory ammo being fired which is why they had bolt heads of different lengths so a military gunsmith could unscrew and put a slightly longer one on for a quick fix. If it were me I would go with a .338/303 because of the range of bullets available and the ability to use it as a short, handy brush gun. It is a fast action with an excellent safety for carrying.
