I think that pretty well sums it up.
Own one rifle in 1927? Me I would've opted for the .303. Even today I would opt for the .30-30 (or .303, same difference) in a high end single shot, thank you very much. But, gasp, I'm not your average bear! Another gasp, I've never been a huge huge fan of the .300- I would never denigrate it for it's proven its worth millions of times over, it just doesn't hold much magic in my eyes. I own one and that's probably it for me in the .300 department.
I've been preaching about 190 grain flat nosed bullets in .30-30's for darn near 40 years since I acquired my first bullet mould in that configuration. The .303 was merely in my periphery back then and I really couldn't have cared less about it and its platforms. I did see the value of that configuration of bullet moving at 2000fps though, and that as much as anything brought me into the fold.
