.303 British as a hunting calibre?
      25/03/08 01:33 AM

What is your experience with the .303 British? The calibre is popular in alot of parts of the world, but at its original factory load velocities it is often dismissed as a hunting round. I have used it successfully in a sporterised Enfield with factory loads, but am curious as to the round's potential with reloads in a modern single shot. Any thoughts?

(Added) Quote from the Norma website: Ballistics of proper loads for use in any gun that is in good condition are sufficiently similar to the 308 Winchester so that the 303 is suitable for precisely the same applications.
