Re: Modern day hunting of Man-Eaters in India

Before someone asks: Those Lee – Enfield type sporters are made by the Tiruchirapalli and Ishapore factories of the IOF = Indian Ordnance Factories, http://ddpdoo.gov.in/product/products/product-details/0-315-quot-sporting-rifle . As the .303 is outlawed for civilian use in India since 1904, they are chambered for the obscure .315 IOF cartridge. This cartridge, formerly called .315 BSA too, is nothing else than the old 8x50R Austrian Mannlicher M.1893, loaded to the old ballistics with a rn jacketed 244 gr bullet at 2000 fps by the IOF Kirkee factory. For many years this was the only sporting rifle and load made and available in India. For some years now the IOF offer a .30-06 rifle too http://ddpdoo.gov.in/product/products/product-details/0-30-06-sporting-rifle , an Ishapore made crude copy of the Sauer 200 series. That’s all that’s legally available to the few licensed Indian hunters.
