Thread: How short on a 303?

also the military only use cases once, nobody reloaded the .303 until the mid 1960's, it amazes me that anyone still uses the .303
for hunting with the availability of much better cartridge/rifle combinations,
I'm not complaining I sell a lot of cast bullets to .303 shooters just surprised how many are still in use.

It's probably the nostalgia. Playing Barry crump and the whole experience of hunting with an old rifle. I plan on getting a good one using it in the bush.
