Alaska caribou with 303 savage

Just got back from a great caribou hunt. Decided to take my model 1899 savage, made in 1908 and chambered in 303 savage. My brother got his caribou in a brushy saddle and told me that it would be a good place to get a short range shot. So the next day I got my chance. He was quartering towards me at 75 yards and I hit him in the chest. He dropped right there and I later found the bullet under the skin behind the last rib.
Fellas, don't let anyone tell you that an old 1899 in the little 303 savage won't work just as well now as it did 100 years ago.
