Only one way to find out Yuma.
I guess you're talking about a SMLE? Don't know that I've ever seen or heard of anyone trying that. However, belted rounds have long been chambered into the P-14/M1917 rifles.
If you are talking about the SMLE, what cartridge and for what purpose?

| I have heard that the extended floorplate/mag box developed by Rigby to adapt Mauser actions to the rimmed .303 was also used to adapt these actions to belted magnum cases. |

This is all just theoretical and an overactive imagination, but I was thinking about something like the 458x2" American ( belted 45-70 )or a 416x2" ......possibly even with the rim turned off ??
