    Work in progress on buying the 303-22

    The 303 case family is generally bigger than what's currently considered safe in a contender but it would bolt in on an encore

    If the twist was right it would be a nice round.
    I do know where a 303-22 chamber reamer is but not sure which of the various lengths it is

    Will get on to it ASAP

    Good stuff. Yes a somewhat overbore option its called I believe. The 303/25 I used hit like a sledgehammer. I think I sold all my 330/25 brass and rounds, have some 303/22 brass still.

    Would need a careful bullet, throat and twist selection to get most out of it. Then again, that was not quite what the 303 cased wildcats were all about.
