RE: 303??
thanks for the replies guys, im still gonna buy it if my uncle wants to sell it, he had another that was my grandpas but he sold it, i wish i could have got that one, or at least knew he was going to sell it. im glad there are sites like this, great info and a vast display of knowledge. im not sure what kind of 303 my uncle has got weather it is a british or savage or what, but im glad to hear that the caliber has a little bit of punch to it for my hunting needs, allthough i am kinda partial to my 06 since it was giving to me by my pops so its kinda my favorite!!
thinks again everyone and good luck hunting

RE: 303??
I hope that all who have read this thread realize THAT THE 303 BRITISH AND THE 303 SAVAGE OR TWO DIFFERENT CARTRIDGES AND NOT THE SAME OR INTERCHANGABLE.
Just to be on the safe side. I borrowed a 303 british enfield once and hunted with it but did not shoot anything but a few target rounds. It is a Canadian tradition and I think I should get one and just shoot a few deer with.
It is a popular round down in Australia for the same reason as it is in Canada, It was the "service round" of the "Commonwealth". They make an interesting wildcat down here they call a .303/.25. Good for roos and goats and hogs and some of the deer here.

I had a .303 Jungle Carbine in the Philippines in 1960 and I got all my ammo from Hong Kong. I bought it at J.M. Fields in Hawaii. When I left the P.I., I gave it to a close Filipino friend.
