   .303 Carbine,
I made  one of those with a 30-30 Winchester model 94 one time on a white tail in southern Mississippi. I was less fortunate I found hair no blood and he trotted off to live another year. It was the last day of gun season around sun set a few years ago.

	A excellent example of the .303 is By WDM Bell who was a Elephant hunter in the early part of last century ! He was said to have used the 7x57 on elephant ,but he in reality used a .318 mostly (he once said that he would have prefered to use a 6.5 that he had but it was to "delicate" a rifle he owned ) He used the .303 in the hope of running into a Herd of Bulls so he could make use of the 10shots ! He was famed for using a Martini in .303 & holding the spare rounds between his fingers & could fire the rifle as fast as a bolt action ! Also the NZ Forresty Dept back in the 1950's -60's issued .303s to their Deer cullers 2million deer were shot with .303s before they lost count! Over here in Australia God only knows how many Buffalo were shot let alone other game ! I think the .303 has nothing to prove anymore as a game stopper .
