I have been hunting with a .303 British, albeit a Parker Hale conversion, for over 40 years...It was the first "man" gun that I got.
I have gotten a deer every year with the 150s, 20+ moose & black bear with the 180s.
We used to have in Canada a cartridge maker, C.I.L., who made 200, 220 and I think 240 gr cartridges...I have a few boxes of 200s left which I prefer for moose.
My prefered moose gun is now a .318 Westley Richards, deer gun is a Mannlicher full stock 6.5x55 Swedish, and my anti polar bear gun is a .425 Westley Richards (because I couldn't find a .416 Rigby at the time) all circa 1950's bolt actions...I really like the old British chamberings and gunmakers.
