'17

To add a litle history on my favourite. The first cartridge didn't work out,British powder wasn't up to it and 1913 wasn't a good time to work the bugs out.But they had a well designed magnum action,so when the war broke out,they needed rifles and had them built in the US,they converted Pattern of 1912? to 303.I have late contract Winchester.When the war came to the US,they needed rifles and the factories were set up for the P-14.The 30-06 worked even better in the Enfield than the 303. My Eddystone ' 17 sporter(18-10) is very accurate.Canada purchased some during WWII,mine was one of them so no primer damage.
