The British were not REALLY our allies in World War 2, because they designed their rifles so that they could use our .30 caliber ammunition but we couldn't use theirs because the .303 has a slightly larger diameter than our .30 caliber. (I heard this from a guy at Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly, VA)
Of course the genius who said this didn't take into account that the 30-06 is LONGER than the .303, and will not fit into the .303 chamber.
