Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 303 Brit

I shot my first deer with a .303, No 1 Lee Enfield, but even though there are quite a few still being used in Canada, I believe it is a cartridge and rifle best suited to collectors of history and not the hunting fields. The cartridge is certainly capable, my dad shot loads of moose and some deer and a few elk with his. I just gave one away to a buddy a few weeks ago. He was with the British military for much of his career and loved the history of the rifle and cartridge.
