The answer is most certainly "NO".
Due to the perpetual stupidity of British military small-arms people, they decided to adopt a different way of describing calibres than everyone else.
The "303 British" calibre is in fact a BIGGER calibre than the "308 Winchester" which is the proper family name of the 7.62NATO cartridge used in the British "SLR" which was a variant of the Belgian FN Fusil Automatique Legere.
Small dimensions make a huge difference in guns.
303 British bullets are of a nominal diameter 0.3125 inches.
7.62nato (and 308 Winchester) bullets should be 0.308"
The difference would cause greatly increased PRESSURE if a 303 bullet was fired in a SLR rifle.
Moreover, most "303 British" bullets weighed around 174 grains, whereas the SLR's 7.62 bullet was 144 grains. This extra weight would also increase pressures.
As the SLR was not a particularly strong action, damage to the gun and injury to the person shooting it could easily result from any attempt to shoot 303 bullets from a 7.62 rifle.
Answer303 bullet means- the bullet fits the barrel of a rifle, diameter of that barrel being .303 inch. this has no relation with SLR rifleas someone that has used enfield number 4 mk2, an L1A1 SLR and an L42A1 quite a lot I'd like to add my 2 penneth worth here..
the .303 is also a rimmed cartridge wheres the 7.62 is not, so if you did managed to get it to feed the bolt won't be able to fully close because of the thickness of the rim catching on the edge of the chamber, I guess the most likely result would be either the weapon wont fire or if the weapon does fire you would have a breach explosion possibly to the anoyance to anyone on your right,
incidently as a side note, a number of old .303 rifles were converted over to 7.62mm and used by the British army for a number of years, designated as L42A1's before being replaced by the L96, maybe this could be the cause for confusion

What caliber bullets did Japanese rifles in World War 2 use?
The Arisaka Type 38 Rifle and the Arisaka Type 44 Rifle both used a 6.5 mm bullet whereas the Arisaka Type 99 Rifle used a 7.7 cartridge . The Nambu Type 14 Handgun used an 8 mm cartridge .
Is the British Empire a hero or a villain?
Both. The British Empire brought legal, economic and technological advancemnts to their many colonies. But to maintain order, they could be very brutual.
What type of guns did the soldiers use in the revolutionary war?
Both the British and Americans used 'Bayonets'. A bayonet is a rifle with a steel knife on the end of it.
Was the conquer of british in India a boon or curse?
Some of both. India was certain to be absorbed by one of the imperial powers, and the country could have done worse than the British. The Russians, for example? Or perhaps the Japanese?
When was the rifle first used in warfare?
Rifles were first used in warfare on a significant scale in the American Revolutionary War, when the Ferguson rifle was issued to a special corps of riflemen raised in 1777 from light infantry companies of the British army in the colonies. By the Napoleonic wars (1803 to 1815), the rifle became more widespread, with the British Army raising special regiments of riflemen and issuing riles to the light companies of regular infantry regiments. Other armies adopted the rifle as well, either in similar specialized units or issued to chosen marksmen in regular infantry units. By the 1850s, the rifle (specifically the muzzle-loading "rifled musket") displaced the smoothbore musket as the standard infantry weapon. This was the standard weapon on both sides of the American Civil War.
Which is greater the momentum of a bullet fired from a rifle or the momentum of the rifle's recoil?
The momentum of the bullet fired from a rifle is greater than the momentum of the rifle's recoil. This is because the bullet has a higher velocity and mass compared to the rifle, resulting in a greater momentum.
Could a SLR rifle bullet be used In a 303 rifle both?
No. The L1A1 Self Loading rifle in in caliber 7.62 x51 mm (7.62 NATO) fires a rimless cartridge with a .308 bullet. The .303 Enfield cartridge is a different shape, has a rim, and fires a .311 bullet. If you compare the two cartridges, totally different in shape.
Are Bullet security cameras shaped like rifle bullets?
Bullet security cameras are not shaped like rifle bullets but are based upon the design of the bullets with similar aerodynamic design being used by both products.
Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?
Both the loaded truck and the rifle bullet have large momentum because momentum depends on both mass and velocity. Even though the truck is moving slowly but has a large mass, and the rifle bullet is moving very fast with a relatively small mass, both contribute to their large momentum values.
A rifle is fired and you are able to measure both the muzzle velocity of the bullet as well as the recoil velocity of rifle how do you explain the fact that the forward velocity of the bullet is great?
The force exerted on the bullet and the recoil force against the rifleman, are equal to each other (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction). The bullet has a very small mass, and the rifle/rifleman possess a large mass, force is equal to one half mass times velocity squared, F=m/2*v^2. So velocity of the bullet is the square root of twice force divided by mass, small mass equals large velocity. Another way of looking at this problem is to invoke the law of the conservation of momentum: mass(bullet)*muzzle_velocity(bullet) = mass(rifle)*recoil_velocity(rifle). This is an approximation that neglects the momentum carried away the propellant (both spent and unburned) that exits the muzzle after the bullet.
How does the acceleration of the bullet compare with the acceleration of the rifle?
Both objects accelerate, however due to Newton's 2nd law the acceleration of the rifle is less due to it's higher mass. Newton's second law F = ma In your question the force (F) would be the same on both objects, but the mass (m) would be different and give a different answer for acceleration (a). This difference can be seen by looking at the effect of being on opposite sides of the rifle (ie kickback vs bullet hole)
Does the barrett 50 cal sniper rifle fire the same bullet as the m2 browning?
They both fire the 50 BMG
Why do both you slowly docking ferry boat and a speedy rifle bullet have a large amount of momentum?
Both the ferry boat and the rifle bullet have large amounts of momentum because momentum is determined by the mass and velocity of an object. Even though the ferry boat is moving slowly but has a large mass, while the rifle bullet is moving quickly but has a much smaller mass, their momentum values end up being significant due to the combination of these two factors.
How does one find out what bullet to use on different animals?
the bigger the animal the bigger the caliber of rifle and the heavier the bullet i.e deer 150 grain bullet 243 caliber and up moose 30-06 180 grain and up for both
What is the difference between a bomb and a grenade?
There is no difference, they both do the same thing. Using the analogy of a gun (firearm) for example: a handgun, which is easily concealed upon a person, shoots a bullet; a grenade is equally concealable. An aerial bomb and a rifle (which shoots a bullet) are not easily concealable upon a person. The handgun is to grenade, as the rifle is to (an aerial) bomb.
If you drop a bullet and fire a rifle at the same time will the bullets hit the ground at the same time?
Technically, yes. There are many variables to consider though like recoil, wind resistance, the barrel of the weapon, etc. The Mythbusters actually did that test. You could probably find that video somewhere.
Can you use a 44 special cartridge in a rifle chambered in 44-40?
no! The 44special cartridge is based on a bullet of .429-430 in diameter.The 44-40 cartridge is based on a bullet diameter of .427.The chamber dimensions are entirely different for both cartridges also.
