    303/25 common in Aus

    Common as meat pies here in Australiaicon not so much now days but with better bullets now they are a serious contender for a cheap shooter for ferals.

    Some of the wildcats the old girls were converted into ~ Merideth 303/.22, 22/303 Varmint-R, 22 Wasp, 22/303 Epps, 22/303 Improved 40 degree, 220/303 Britishicon (Shannon), 243/303, 6mm/303 Epps, 25/303 British, 25/303 Epps, 6.5/303 Epps, 270/303, 270/303 Epps, 7mm/303, 7mm/303 Epps, **7.7 x 54 Rimmed**, 303 ICL Improved, 8mm/303 Epps, 338/303 Epps, 338 JDJ, 35/303 Epps and 375/303

    The 7.7 x 54mm was a way around the restriction of civilians owning military caliber weapons they shortened the case and made it a wildcat so therefore it sat outside that restriction, also there were 3 .22 ones namely the Falcon, Wasp and one other I cannot recall getting old....!
