most were 2 piece stocks,

I have an old Parker Hale 303 and a sporterized military as well haven't hunted with them much in the last 20 or so years but they have killed their share of Moose Deer and Bears. In the last couple years I have been playing with the Parker Hale at the range and have worked up a load with 174 Hornady interlocks over 36g of IMR 4320 which produces 1.5 groups at 100. my chrony averages them out to 2150fps
