.303 Savage is a decent hunting round if you reload.

Klink, what model 1895 are you waiting for?

As to knowing what is out there I have messed up royally. During the lack of ammo I started shooting BP firearms again. Since then I have hardly fired a center-fire or rimfire but have been to the range several times. I don't even look much at the stuff at a store anymore unless it is a single shot, antique or BP. Sad but I am having a lot of fun with the smell of sulpher smelling guns.
