barrel rebore

[gordonlbyrne]

Hi,dose anyone know if there is anywhere in Canada where you could have a rifle barrel rebored.I have a 1905 ross sporter 303 with a shot out bore i was wondering if it is possible to rebore it to .323(8MM)

Ron Smith in Alberta did one for me years ago. Just superb. Great work and very accurate rebore. You might have to google a bit to find him but he is out there.

 

[Why not?]

Ron does very good work indeed, and can be reached at 403-631-2405.

C+H dies will make dies for anything.Why not a .338-.303 ?

 

[Why not?]

Elwood Epps chambered quite a few rifles to 338-303 in the late 50s and into the early 70s. His suggested load was the Speer 275 gr bullet ahead of a case full of 4831. The velocity was around 2100 fps. Remind you of anything?

I never owned one myself, but a lot of guys had their old 303s rebored and chambered for it, and I never heard any complaints.

Pacific Tool and Guage lists the .338-303 as an off-the-shelf reamer.
