303 big moose

For sure and I can just imagine that many near or even record breaking large moose have been taken using a Lee Enfield .303! Hunters especially back in the day didn't care about records, just feeding the family. Once in a while while out in the field, I meet other hunters and when we start talking about our rifles and they see my 'old' Enfield they ask how old I am...I ask 'why ask that' and they just smirk at the age of my gun. They are corrected quite promptly and I always include the statement that I am keeping the Enfield legacy alive. I also remind them that more medium to large sized game animals have been taken in Canada and elsewhere using the .303 round than any other round (30.30 a close second imho). It may be out dated in many people's eyes given the popularity of magnum rounds and that is fine, just don't knock the old .303. People in the know...just know. Hopefully someone here has that article handy, I sure would like to know the size of that animal you spoke of, daneko.

the 303 was one of the more prevalent calibers in africa as well , took a lot of big game , still see british military rifles in the hands of the game wardens in a lot of the TV programs about poachers there ,

..or Black bear, Grizzly bear,or deer, or Bison, mountain goat, puma, or CAMELS-if we had 'em!
