Thread: 303-250

Had to bury an elderly neighbour's old house cow the other day, and over a cup of tea afterwards, he told me about the good old days in the district, including his hunting haunts. He described hunting with a 303-250, which I'd never heard of (not that I'm any sort of expert). He said in Aussie the gov't after the war prohibited civvies owning military caliber weapons, and so this cartridge was developed to take advantage of plenty of surplus war-era rifles and brass. He reckons ammo is pretty hard to get these days, and has to buy it from Aussie.

Was this caliber ever a thing in NZ?
