Good luck to the "Feline in the Fedora"!!!
I also think that the major issue with the old .303B is the crappy bullets we now have for it. I had a few VERY choice .303s, could shoot pretty well way back then and often carried one at season end as you cannot hurt them short of a cutting torch.
We used to hunt old logging roads in the West Kootenays, which had lots of Mulies and some Whitetails and we would hunt, then warmup in the old truck and then hunt and so on. The cutdown 5 shot clips were really handy then and the old CIL KKSP seemed to work as well as anything at the distances we shot at.
I have never been much as a Moose hunter, but, have seen a number of clean kills with this combo. We liked the irons in the snowstorms and never even cleaned these rifles until season end.......NOT how I treated the scoped, pristine M-S 1961MCA carbine in 6.5x55 I also had at that time, 50 years ago. BTW, that is NOT a misprint.
