The default .303 Brit round for GURPS: High Tech is the Cartridge S.A. Ball, .303 Inch, Mk VII (c).
This is a 1.1 inch long, 174gr spitzer bullet at 2,440 fps.
Plug that into Gun Stats and it comes very close to what High Tech says for the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III.
The numbers for Mk I through Mk VI don't match well.
It's interesting to compare the numbers between this and 7x57mm and seeing that GURPS agrees with the Boer out-ranging the Brits. NEAT!
Gun Stats says .303 British Mk VII is 6d+2 pi at 870/3,300. Published was 6d+2 pi, 800/3,300.
7x57mm Mauser from a Mauser 93/95 calculates to 6d+1 pi, 1,150/4,800.
This tastes right from reading period accounts of those shooting at each other.
