Wildcats based on 303 Brit

I've heard Epps made some wildcats based on this case but haven't had much luck finding info....

My 1895 SRC seems to have a wore barrel and I am tempted to open it a smidge. Ideally it would go to 35 WCF to stay properly chambered but I don't have enough meat in this barrel and I think it would need magazine mods.

Of course another barrel would be an option but good luck finding that. One from an enfield is not an option ......

Thinking of going to 8mm or maybe 338 but that would be pushing it... iirc the muzzle is just under .600". The lands burnt out but I think the grooves are alright. Is it possible the bore

Suggestions welcome!:D

Ive got a p14 that someone bored the original barrel to 444 marlin. Maybe 375 win?
 
375-303 Westly Richard’s although technically not a wildcat really interests me . No slouch and there’s something really Canadian about woods walking with a Enfield.Not much more work to just make it a 45/70 though .
