A #4 Mk1 Lee Enfield .303 British with my handload using a Hornady 150gr spire point and IMR 4895 powder, in 1971. The deer was a cow-horn spike buck. I killed my first seven deer with that rifle and load. My Grandfather had "sporterized" the rifle by removing the top wooden handguard and then shortening and rounding off the forearm with a handsaw and wood rasp and wiping a little linseed oil on it.
Bring enough gun and know how to use it.
Know that it is not the knowing, nor the talking, nor the reading man, but the doing man, that at last will be found the happiest man. - Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
