Ive got two 303/25's in my safe one is a Ludwig Lowe Mauser 96 and the other is a Lithgow Deluxe MkI No 3 both in excellent condition . The Mauser is very accurate ,with 100gn Taipan projectiles .The MKINo3 I have never fired , the barrel is bright and like new in the bore .It had been knocked around externally by the previous owner ,had a split and badly repaired butt stock and more damage to the schnable forend tip ,fortunately I was able to get both glue jobs undone and repair it .

I also have a KAR98 Mauser in 303/270 , which I used last July 2019 in the Tanamai ,on camels and scrub bulls with great success .I hand load for both using PPU 303 brass, 100gn Taipans in the 25 and Speer 150's in the 270.I actually gave my Model 70 in 243 to my Son because I prefer the M96.

I have a large supply of Taipan 100gnhp projectiles from when Malcolm Bone owned Taipan .These are well suited to Aussie game as they rarely completely penetrate.
