.276 Enfield (7×60mm) rimless bottlenecked rifle cartridge for which the Pattern 1913 Enfield action was designed. Initially the RSAF designed the new rifle, at this point the Pattern 1911, around two calibres; the .276 and the .256. The .256 was found to be inaccurate and the .276 was adopted in mid-1911 for further testing.

The Pattern 1913 Enfield (P13) was an experimental rifle developed by the British Army ordnance department to serve as a replacement for the Short Magazine Lee–Enfield (SMLE). Although a completely different design from the Lee–Enfield, the Pattern 1913 rifle was designed by the Enfield engineers.
Expanded to include a cartridge-making factory in 1872 and an explosives factory in 1942. The "K" was at the 9 o'clock position and the Indian property mark was at 3 o'clock. They manufactured the .303 Mk.II Special, a soft-point semi-jacketed Ball cartridge for the Enfield Rifle that was later banned by the Hague Convention.
The 7.7 mm cartridge used by the Japanese versions of the British guns is a direct copy of the .303 British (7.7×56mmR) rimmed cartridge and is distinctly different from the 7.7×58mm Arisaka rimless and 7.7×58mm Type 92 semi-rimmed cartridges used in other Japanese machine guns and rifles.
