Yes, the Ross consistently outshot Lee Enfields pre WW1 at Bisley chambered in .280. Then the Britishicon decreed that service rifles competing had to be chambered in .303 British. Surprise! The Ross rifles chambered in .303 outshot the Lee Enfields still. Ross rifles were and still are a highly underated rifle. Not the greatest combat rifle but a superior target and hunting rifle. Most of the reliablity issues in combat were related to lousy British ammunition. This is historically proven to be factual.
