303 thread

[Rock river arms hunter]

Righty ho.

So looks like I'm trading my Austrian hand piece in as I have a Czech handpiece to use to keep my B with.

So I'll be getting a lovingly restored Lithgow 1941 SMLE.

Now I've always had a burning passion for shooting a deer with a 303 open sighted as issued.

It's got a absolute mint bore on it.

Also has Meus sight fitted. So with that being said. What projectiles etc have people found to work well on red deer? Don't want to over think it but I've never reloaded for a open sighted Milsurp rifle before so this is new territory for me.

Was thinking of grabbing some speer 180gr and trying to duplicate Mark 7 speeds for the sights.

Cheers Team
