Re: Hunting with the 303, please report

Howdy guys,

Here is my work rifle. I bought it randomly at a local gunshop, it was cheap. No one uses this ammo at hunting here, but it turned out to be my meat-on-the-table rifle. Underpowered compared to what others own, but it's very accurate, fast, reliable and it makes up. Moreother, it's not pretty, and I don't know why but I like it.

I shoot Sierra Pro hunter 180 grs at around 2,300fps. I appreciate this bullet weight because in my forest, I can shoot from 2 to 200 yards. The load is very accurate, but I'm rather disappointed by the results regarding boar hunting.
A few months ago I shot a boar 4 meters away. The boar fell down straight away, but a fmj would have done exactly the same job, without any expansion.
I reckon I'll figure out a load using patch papered slug...
