the .315 india is the 8x50R Mannlicher
Prvi 8x56R is THE basic case to make it, .323 for barrel diameter
I have the impression reboring and rechambering will clean up the original .303 chamber. probably the 8x50R was choose because reworking existing .303 enfield rifles was trouble free and simple when the .303 cartridge ban came.
It would seem like it made sense. Maybe there wouldn't be much modification of the action required? Does anyone have any experience with this conversion, or am I in new waters here?
I fear you are the first doing this
iirc, there was once a reboring into 35 WCF which is very close to the 303 base.
read about rechambering into 7,62x54R a cartridge very similar to 8x50R but with a .311 diameter bullet.
