Killed deer with all kinds of cartridges rifles and BP but my all time favorite is the 303 British. Cat
A now past Great Uncle of mine killed well over a thousand deer with at .303.....
I'm a sucker for nastalic rifles and cartridges, and so is my hunting buddy. We've used stuff like original 6.5X54 and 8X56 MS carbines, '95's in 30/40, he fav these days is an old Husky in 9.3X57. Most of These rifles are a hoot to shoot and typically really light for the hunting we like to do- MOST of them, the ''95 is not really a lightweight and neither is a Garand! LOL Cat
