    grandpamac I found a 1/2 box of my CAC 303 ammo. I'm going to sight it in with the Federal 150's and then see if the CAC shoots close enough to use. I haven't got enough to sight in with it. If it's...

    I think it goes back to the 40's The 25 - 303 also appeared, filling a void for Australian hunters and farmers, because at the time there was not a wide variety of choice in firearms or calibers and...
