Where do you stop with your /06

It seems some countries do have restrictions regarding cartridges that are or were military but never thought the 30-06 was one. 303 British, 7.62x54R 6mm Lee Enfield 7x57 mm 8mm Mauser etc are some that have long been sporting rounds. Was it the .475 caliber that received such scrunty so the .476 was created to replace it?
Nonsense always seems to prevail over common sense.
 
This article URL below says the 450 was banned by England in 1905 for India and Sudan. The new 303 cartridge for the Sudan as well.
I am not vouching for the article but it seems to match.
It says Holland and Holland replaced the 450 with the 500/465.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
