When Dad was still hunting, he's 84 now and quit a few years ago, he used a Savage made SMLE, in full military dress, for years. It always worked.

But there were plenty of older british makers who made really nice rifles in this calibre for hunting. If you do hunt deer with a .303 how do you find its performance using modern hunting ammunition or reloads ? Works just fine, I use the 215gr Woodleigh in my modern made Verney-Carron double rifle
