Worst thing is the Case needs to be 51mm long minimum for Sambar hunting as per Regs..
i have a thread in the reloading forum asking about "loosely seated projis" in regards to my 375win, (with williams peep )
im just going to hold out on the ol girl an use up the 100+ projectiles i have, mostly on game once i sort the crimp issues out..

woulda loved the 307/356 but it was sold pretty quick..

None of the above. Obscure calibers or anemic calibers in a poor operating system. Stick with bolt action and common caliber. 308 comes to mind.

A 303 is obscure? Compared to what? The 303 is far from obscure. Go to ANY small town store selling ammo and you will find 22LR, 30-30, 308, 30-06 AND 303.

Go figure. Now you will find limited bullet weights for it because it was design for the 174 gr. The Canadian Rangers use the 180 RN made by Remington. I personally like the 174 UMC stuff.

To answer the OP's question, My vote would be for the 303. It is also useful for larger game as well.

The only caveat with the answer is that the Ruger #1 is slower for a quick second shot.

My second choice for deer sized game would be the reliable 30-30 with 125 gr hand loaded bullets.

Looks like common scense may becoming obscure.

yeah, that's what bogie says!

30-30 would be my pick. Although it is very hard to find ammo for it.

X2, It will take forever to find those!

Sambar. That'd be fun.

A Ruger #1 in 6.5x55 is my dream rifle.
