What are you breeding over there that a .303 will not bring down? Woolly Mammoths?

Here in Australia, the cartridge certainly works on Red and Fallow deer, feral pigs, goats, water buffalo, etc..

Many thanks, ArtPahl ! :-)

That is great. I have been supposing a Vihtavuori.. . As example the N135 or N140, maybe the N540.

I will test my P14 and M 17 probably on next saturday... .

Many greetings

Hello Bruce in Oz

no, here in Grison are no Mammoths or similar big animals... :-)) We have a few wolfes, sometimes a brownbear and the usual animals like capricorns and deer here. I didn't create that hunting law in Grison. I also have my trouble with that. The minimum caliber is .401 inches or 10.2 mm. The 10,3x60 mm R is the most favoured cartridge in our country here, even since a long time.. .

I don't mistrust the .303 British-Cartridge in this relation, by the way.. Other people are stuck here, it seems like :-(

Greetings
