yeah, why don't stuff a 7.62x54 up the chamber of a .303...all 3.11 diameter bullets the same!

come on fella,thats a bit harsh.......I dont put up suggestions like that lightly and a wad exchange will alter pressure BUT not to gun blow up levels..... an ill fitting fibre wab that wont seal bore as efficently as a plastic skirted wad will have less pressure than the plastic if basic physics are applied......
feel free to correct me if Im wrong.
and for what its worth there is at least one 7.62x54R SMLE around and working fine.....new barrel and all,gets shot out to respectable range too.....
