A British .303 round is devastating. A friend of mine has a Canadian manufactured Mk IV Enfield from 1943. We took it outside into the woods and fired a few rounds, one of which took out the lower trunk of a small tree upon impact.

The best way to kill an enemy sniper is with your own snipers...

"Hogwash. " I agree with you. There have been situations (iranian boarding party and Basrah in Iraq for example) where I've been upset by the political leadership of the British military, but I've never doubted the ability of their service members.

It is said that the Americans entered WWI with a target rifle, the Germans used a hunting rifle, and the British used a battle rifle.

A British .303 round is devastating.It was designed to stop a cavalry charge by killing the horses at 600 yards.

Years ago I had an Ishapore arsenal Enfield in my hot little paws. It was rearsenaled for .308 NATO
The shop owner talked me out of it saying they had feed issues.
I don’t know why he talked me out of a sale.
I still wish I had bought that .308 Ishapore
I haven’t seen one since.
