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...
