.303 for deer?

yes...it's more than adequate for deer.

if you have an old military .303 i would suggest you take it to a licensed gunsmith for evaluation before shooting it. there were so many of them available at one time and for so long that people did all sorts of things to them.

i've had several of them and one of them was abosolutely wonderful! it would keep a 2" group at 100 yards using open sights and surplus ammo! (i read somewhere that was the standard the british army had before they would accept a rifle)

power-wise, it's in the same neighborhood as the 7mm mauser, .308 win, 30-30 win. etc.
