Lee Enfield .303 British

[Workin Man]

Another bonus to the Enfields is the solid metal buttplate, so when some jackass tries to use it to pound tent pegs or as a crow bar, or a door stop, you can take it and buttstroke em with it to set em straight. Just kidding Stubble Jumper.

Actually that solid metal buttplate makes pounding tent pegs or nails even easier.

When hunting mooses, should only employ non-Bubba'd .303s, that way if 10 shots ain't enough you can fix bayonets and have at it. fFor this reason (longer bayonet) the #1 is to be slightly prefered. Best ofverall is the Martini Henry; you only get one shot, but bayonet is a SWORD!

With the 577/450, you should only need one shot!!

You can then use the sword bayonet to carve a roast out of the moose!!

303Brit can be loaded to within spitting distance of the 308.

with the small selection of crappy .311" bullets, yes, yes it can

the 308 is miles ahead still

Got reading the lastest brochure from federal, at 150gr, the .303 gives up only about 100fps to the .308. For factory there ain't much practicle difference

The .303 British is obsolete...

I believe I can already see the waving torches and pitchforks, NAA.
And Tod, you're next!!
BTW, in terms of the 308 vs the .303, you may want to check how happy a 308 is to fire bullets weighing 180gn+........
Since moose and other big game usually require nice heavy bullets it's worthwhile checking those sort of factors before you criticise.
But then they don't chamber .303 Brit in those "purty" Remingtons you like so it's clearly crappy.
And everyone loves Remington.......or do they?

And for those not as mislead as poor Tod(or do I mean as misleading? ) here in Australia we have a saying about .303 Brit.
It doesn't move real fast but what gets hit stays hit.
