We used 'em for deer hunting growing up. The Springfield always seemed more accurate than the .303, but we put that down to either the shooter (the younger hunter tended to get the .303) or the shorter barrel.
And both were worlds better than the 20-gauge over/under shotgun (loaded with slugs) that the unlucky third hunter got. I don't think we ever actually hit anything with that.
