    Cut-n-paste Normal Lee Speed 'factory' chamberings were .303, 7x57R and 8x57R, .375 NE, and the .405 Winchester But this is a single shot rifle

    7x57R into a very light sporting 303 Like I say it's a huge call for me to bore and line a rare 303 single shot. But that into a smaller caliber, but factory offering in that make and model is...

    Using the European Proof Data I can easily compare similar bore size cartridges from cartridges with dergees of lower pressures So 7x57R 3400 bar pressure = 4.1mm barrel wall 7x72R 2800 bar...

    Yes looking at that pressure curve it's 50% @ 10" and 25% @ 20" So consulting my proof house data and looking at the same bullet diameter in lower pressure cartridges I can calculate the minimum...

    7x57R into a very light sporting 303 There is no way you could fit a 303 liner back into the sewer pipe 303 barrel A 7x57 could just work A 25-35 would be easy but boring

    The K95 is not a front rest friendly rifle Fore end is a delight to carry and gorgeous But very fine and doesn't sit well on a bag or hasty field rest. This was my solution and it works well....
