What we actually learned is that if you soften up your body armour with a 303 British and a 7.62 Mosin first, the 338 Lapua is definitely in with a chance.

We learned that multiple rounds in the same spot in body armor plates will go through

303 ball surplus is readily found in Canada , Australia, UK and India, in fact it is still manufactured in India up till quite recently if not still actually being made, those soft points are the sporting hunting round version and being used against military body armor is pointless for I would think would be obvious reasons.

That 7.62x54r soft point wasn't made for hard targets. I'd like to see the same test with a surplus Russian military steel core 7.62x54r.

The 303 round looked very odd, looked like a hand load with the projectile not fully seated.

The more a man knows, the safer he is. Thanks for sharing your videos with us all Who Tee Who. 👍🇺🇸

High velocity, soft point, close range gives expansion before penetration. Unless of cause you use a .338lp. It looked like you hit the dirt with the .303

338 hit in a spot from the two previous rounds... hit it up higher in an area that wasn't compromised and see if it still goes through.

You need some of the steel core ammo for that Mosin. It goes through stuff a whole lot better

After first hit, Armor was compromised, 338 hit was after comp.2 times!

Back in the early to mid1960s that's all you could get for a British 303 was metal jacket bullets surplus

Great video as always. Fun to see the old military rifles in action!

Theres a ton of fmj 303 to be found on Ammo seek, I have trouble finding round nose. Also I'm always surprised at hot good the mk 3 looks when sporterized, though I prefer the original look.

Awesome video interesting to see what the old tried and true Calibers do to modern armor!!!

That gifted round looked a lot like a 7.92x57mm / 8mm Mauser round

Here in Australia the ol .303 ww2 ball ammo used ta be cheap like the budgie but now worth a fortune. In fact, any .303 ammo even the factory made stuff is pretty dear. I got a savage no.4 .303 and an old 1917 mosin, hex receiver made by Remington believe it or not. Love em both. Great vid mate. Keep doing em.

That 338 just waltzed on through that measly level 3. I would love to see some lever rifle vids man!!

get some 180gr .303 soft points and drill in to the centre of the lead down about one inch and place a hardened concrete nail in it make sure it is centred then fire it at your armour, you will be surprised

The year of manufacture of SMLE is under the bolt for most..

WTW IN THE HOUSE !!! YOU ALL WTW FELLOW FOLLOWERS HAVE A GREAT WEEK !!! GOD YOU ALL !!

My father had a 303 British...he told me a story of the bolts would somtime come back and hit the guy in the eye...calling them one eyed British...lol

The old rifles from past wars are interesting. Thank you for bringing them out and shooting them for us.

Awesome video. I love the old guns, some just stand the test of time

You never disappoint thanks WTW

Shot my first whitetail back in 1990 with my .303 Enfield. Been a fan of the .303 ever since.

The wartime .303 round was a boat-tailed, spire point fmj round that had a wood or compressed card tip backed by lead. The idea was that the round would hit a target, bend like a banana and tumble through the wound to cause maximum injury. The soft tip was also a money saving thing during austerity, and got around the dum-dum prohibitions. Your test rounds probably use nitro-cellulose smokeless powder instead of Cordite stick propellants. The original .303 had an accurate range of 1000 yards, but could fly in excess of 1.5 miles. When trialled in the new .303 BREN machine gun, a mag of 30 rounds cut down a tree, so the barrel was de-accuratised to spread the coverage. Your .303 was the SMLE carbine version as opposed to the rifle, which had furniture to the full length of the barrel and weighed 8.5 lbs fully loaded. The later SMLE Mk IV and Mk IV* had folding sights and a longer barrel extension.

Awesome man Thanks

Several years ago, I shared a 1,000 rd purchase of FMJ .303. It was made in Belgium in the 1980s. I also bought a few cloth bandoliers of clipped FMJ milsurp .303. I still have some of both. I'd be happy to send you some for your experiments but I'm not sure about mailing ammo cross the border (I'm in Canada) with all the insanity of our two lefty governments. There's a famous mil story that states that the Brit/Commonwealth armies in WW1 loaded some rds backwards to defeat German counter-sniper armor plates. I've seen articles about this and I believe there is a vid on YT somewhere that tests the theory. Seems to work.

Awesome seeing the savage 338 brought out, I’ve only put 14 rounds thru mine so far due to ammogeddin

Great vid man!

Loved the video man

You may have hit the plate in an area already weakened by the previous 2 rounds... but the Lapua round was a good idea! Also, you were on the money about the energy transfer to target plate!

I have a 303 British. Someone in the past cut the barrel behind the front sight to install a scope. I’d really like to get another barrel. Do you know any resources to buy parts? Thanks. I’m a new subscriber and like the content you post.

I bought an old Enfield 303 years ago that looked like death would help it, turned out to be one of the most accurate rifles I've ever owned. So much so that I refinished and sporterized the stock. It was a deer slayer.

Always happy to see your clips on the memorable old 303, my dear old dad always ask if you have done any new posts with the smle. Once we watch a new one we spend quite some time reminiscing about days gone by and seam to do a lot of laughing. Thanks once again your post really cheer my old dad up, good on you m8 ask we say in nz.

I have been wanting to try the 46 grain hollow core mosin practice ammo. Supposed to be moving close to 4000 fps. Stuff is corrosive tho have been reluctant. Would love to see its affect on things even tho it will break apart

I was wondering about the power and accuracy of the .22 lr subsonic or the quiet rnds. Thanks. Great content

Awesome video man, did you ever figure out what that FMJ bullet was, because it looks like steel case 3006! Can’t wait for the next one WTW!

That was an awesome video WTW! Well they all are, but this one hit the spot tonight! Thanks for sharing brother! Have a great week!🤘🏽🇺🇸👊🏽

Man I'd love to find a 303 British. Nice heavy round. Awesome video brother

Love your videos thanks for all the info I love my mosins they never fail Be Safe and God Bless 👍🎅

That was a really fun video...👍😊👍

Awesome video

They make all sorts of awesome 7.62x54R ammo. Armor piercing, armor piercing incendiary, and plenty of other goodies. I’d say it is more powerful than the .303 British. Great video as always

Thanks for the video. Will do a video on the 338 win mag vs paper plates or anything else. Thanks again for your videos

Wolf makes some copper coated steel cased fmj .303 and got Remington lead tipped that looks similiar to the 7.62 round you got there. I actually haven’t found the .303 rounds you have!! 😆 the wolf performs pretty well and was much cheaper than the Remington which was hunting ammo at $34-39 a box of 20 vs the wolf which was 20 for $20. It seemed to be a littler more difficult to eject the rounds with the steel case but not much of an issue for being half the price!! Was pretty much a non issue just not as smooth as the brass

The two forward tabs on the top front of your 303 mag often causes feed issues when push the bolt forward to load. Tabs need to be bent out the at a bit

Nice to see the 338 Lapua out!!

Keep the 303 vids up man .there good

Great video man. I sure wish I would have picked up a Mosin when they were cheap and the ammo was cheap. I looked the other day to possibly order some ammo for my 8x56R Styer, too expensive.

Some of the phrases you use 🤣🤣👍. Keep bangen bud.

There's a lot of the full metal jacket 303 British out there usually they sell them in surplus type situations

Remington used to make .303 British FMJ cartridges in addition to the soft points. Not sure if the new owners of Remington will continue making them, hopefully they do.

"that trigger is heavy as bananas" is my new favorite catch phrase

Man, that .338 Lapua is insane!!!

That .303 with the round top looks like a .30 30.I've only ever seen the FMJ ones.

Close to where I live in Norfolk in the uk was an old ww2 training range - it was just off of a beach in some dunes & my dad would take us for walks there in the 80s & we have found live .303 & 9mm round & loads of shrapnel - I still go for walks there now with my kids loads of spent .303 shells & 9 mm shells & spent bullet heads. If we’re lucky we can find a few 45s but they are few & far between.

I'm really glad that the FMJ turned out not to be 7.62x54R. I was looking at both cartridges and thinking that I'd gone crazy because they didn't appear to be the same caliber. For your video purposes, the .303 British and Mosin rounds not going through the plate were bad. For anyone who owns RTS Tactical plate, their not going through the plate is great news. At 10 or 20 yards, I'm not sure that the plate stopping a .338 Lapua round is going to save the wearer. That much force hitting the chest would be brutal. Your friends at Bad Dobby's have some nice lizards, but I'm disappointed that they don't have any good snakes.

PPU makes FMJ for a 303 but like all ammo it's hard to find it. Also Remington UMC makes it also both a 174 gr. Since Remington just opened back up maybe it will back on the shelf soon.

When you shot it with a mosen round ?

Do you still have & shoot your 338wm ir just your 338 Lapua??

These rifles are so cool my local gunsmith has both of these for sale and im gonna get one if both for sure..love the video awsome as always

Nice. 338 went on through like that armour wasn't even there! Ouch!!!

Checking in late! Bet this gonna be fun! 😁

Hi WTH. HI everyone. That was a good video. Also very educational. I felt like I was watching MR Rogers with guns. Love it and thank you. God bless you and your family

What some don't understand is " Body Armor" can stop a bullet. But, yes the energy transfer to the body from the bullet can cause Hemorrhage, broken bones, and be very painful causing severe pain or even loss of feeling.

Great vid,,

I like your 338, i have a 6.5 creedmoor in the same rifle! And love it.

Love the safety glasses I have the same pair lol

isnt mosin nagant load 7.62x54r? roughly equal to .30-06?

Year on that enfield should be on the metal strap going around the stock

Good one Bud, hey the first two were lead was the 338 an FMJ could be the dif.

Just commenting. No disrespect meant Sir. I’m Canadian. The No. 1 Mk. 3 was my first rifle when I got my licence in 1978. I believe they approximate 7.62X51 level, while 7.62X54R are approximate 7.62X63. Some feeding issues may be caused by the rimmed cartridge. Also, trigger is pretty much “two stage”. There is a lot of take up until you reach the next resistance. Then , not so bad. Maybe designed to help prevent AD/ND from new recruits? Both great rifles for different reasons. Here in Canada, most hunters own at least one .303. We have used them for everything from ground hogs to moose. I assume bear as well. Thank you for what you do Sir. Much respect from Canada.

I hate missing the chats but no notification and I forgot the video till it was done over. See y’all soon brother GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏

That metal plate AR500 is called Hardox 500 here in Europe, I work with it all the time. I recommend you buy the whole metal sheet of the same thickness for testing, it will be much cheaper.

Love The ol Rifles... I have an old 8mm Mauser that has some nice patina on it , but the rifling is clean & sharp as ever!

thanks for the video.

Really admire how u strive to have a rifle in every calibre

I've had a mosin for a while. I've only fired the spam can ammo through it. It has about refrigerator door MOA. Maybe one day ill put reasonable ammo through it. The bore seems oversized for the bullet diameter. That 303 round looks circumcised... Why is the cannelure way the heck up there? 🤔Are they reloads?

“I think a 338 LaPua will stop it.” April fools was a few weeks ago.

WTW next time you bring out the .338 lapua can you set the cartridge on the table next to the .303 to compare the size? You're hilarious and a blast. 👍💥😁

that 303 have a lockout magazine lockout single shot

Winchester sells the fmj.303, in Canada we really only carry the .303 fmj if you can try ordering some from here

You might get some ball ammo in Canada, sure we have it here in Australia. Try it against the 8x57 mauser.

I’m surprised they both stopped I knew that the 338 was going through it

I've never seen a lead tip .303 before, the ony ones Ive ever used were British issue military rounds from post 1960. Always jacketed.

.303 British is a terrific deer cartridge.

The rounds where soft point rounds, what happens with FMJ’s ?

Nice WTW! If you get on that google machine and use ammo seek or ammo buy, searching the mosin round, you can find armor piercing rounds and russian tracer spotting rounds which are explosive tips. Now that would be interesting to see how those fair on the body armor.

FYI The Enfield MK1 is the Australian shortened barrel Rifle club pattern for competition shooting, it wasn't meant for combat unlike the Mosin

Tu pourrais essayer la 300wm si ça traverse ce blindage ?

I’ve not done much looking in to the 303 but I’m interested to see what it can do.👍keep up the videos they are great.👍

The softpoint .303 Brit ammo is all one can find from U. S. manufacturers; it's all made for hunting use. The FMJ stuff will be either surplus - and the supply is running out, it is finite - or PPU (Privi Partisan) makes brand new FMJ .303 Brit ammo for military rifle buffs (at least before the recent panic). Of course, right now dadburn near everything is scarce. And just to show you're correct, FMJ rounds should be compared to FMJ rounds; (you should have used...). And truthfully, if I were contingently planning to engage a belligerent with body armor, FMJ (if not AP -armor piercing) would be available. (Presuming I could prepare.) I did shoot the PPU ammunition and checked speed with a chronograph. It clocks about 100 fps slower than some 'Olin' made ammunition which seems to be a duplication of the British specifications. Just under 2400 fps; pretty serious round. Holding the two (7.62x54Rmm and the unknown round) as you did shows the unknown round has a longer case than the Mosin round. As the Mosin round is 54 mm long (that's what the name means) the unknown round is longer. I suspect (no guarantee) that case may be 57mm (2.24 inches) long, likely a 8x57mm Mauser round. All in all I like the premise of the video. It compares 'this' to 'that' and fairly. You seem to be a pretty good shooter. I like that. By the way, soft point hunting rounds are not intended to penetrate body armor. The Lapua is used for sniping, but probably used more for large game. It has more brute force. Just so you know: I do not have all this stuff in my head. If you do not have one, get a recent edition of . It is a marvelous reference book and history lesson about such things. Don't memorize it all, just check on what you have and things you show. And a decent loading manual will tell you about the length and width of cartridges.

Like to see that done with some Yellow Box Brass Case Match Grade for the Mosin, It has a more pointed Tip than most 7.62x54R

Mahoneys in abingdon VA has the federal .303 british :)

hello could you make a test with the 223 wssm ?even the 243 wssm ? all the best for your channel .

I've found new .303 FMJ before but I think most of the time you want the SP rounds especially for hunting rounds.

Smoothest mosin bolt I have ever seen

Back in the early sixties the British 303 that's all you get was steel jacketed you couldn't get the soft tip
