Then, those set up to yield maximum power from a short action (every improvd, blown out and WSM chambering) have compromised and might give trouble. But maybe I'm wrong ...

I'll make a start and say my 303 would jam due to rims stepping over each other in the magazine, while the 7mm08 is pretty good.

If your .303 is LE then there is a right way to load a 5 round clip before putting it in the magazine...or so we were told and shown as school cadets many long years ago.
