    I made the switch from .303 to .308 for deer hunting in about 1982. I have owned (in .308) a Mohawk 600, a Remington 742, a Winchester Model 100 (all great guns but now sadly gone), and keep a Winchester Featherweight and a Winchester Model 88.
    CAC manufactured .577 snider, .577/.450 Martini Henry, 7.62x51 and .303 for the military, and .303, .308, .243, .270, 30/06, .30/30 and .303/.25 for the civilian market.
    They made special loadings of .270 and .308 for the NZ Forest Service hunters. In my collection I have full original packets of all of these calibres.
