303 Epps
It can be done but the expense and aggravation of getting the magazine to feed properly is a real problem. The dies are very expensive compared to the standard 303 Brit and it doesn't really give a big boost in performance.For case life the brass should be annealed before fire forming, overall it can be a real pain in the a$$ for very little gain. The best one to do the Epps on is a P-14 that has a bad chamber, that way you can fully utilize the extra case capacity and get the extra velocity that you are after. Would I do it again,not a chance.

if you want a light handy 303, try to find a previously bubba'd #4 and cut down/rechamber, put on this kit. http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=527230&chrSuperSKU=&MC=
