Hi Guys, I have just joined here and this thread seems the perfect place to jump in I spent 35 yrs hunting in Alberta and my first rifle was a sporting type No4mk1* beautifully done with pistol grip stock etc. because they were so inexpensive and plentifull I at last count have 19 of them over the yrs.before I started reloading factory 150gr ammo worked fine for deer, why I got talked into a 300 win mag I don't know but it got sold after a short time I had been shooting black powder for a few yrs when in 1987 my hunting partner decided we should hunt with it I never looked back and many deer moose and pronghorn have fallen to my muzzleloaders and BPCR's I moved to British Columbia 5 odd yrs ago and built a house etc so haven't had any time for hunting here yet or got a new partner that I can work with,when I do I will have a hard time not taking one of the .303's out along with my new Marlin 45/70 guide gun in case of Grizz. cheers Ian.
