ROKTOY the way i'm going I will probably have a spare one for you. Cordite some seem to get theirs to shoot fine and the bores were OK. Maybe later models or just tighter? here is a cut/paste...

I've been shooting a light 303 load comprising 125's over 30 gns of Reloader 7, for about 2500 fps. VV N110 with the same charge works really nicely too, very low ES, good accuracy and about 2600...

Micky Duck, I like the idea of a baikal with a chamber reamed to .303. Anyone around here actually done it?
