Good targets!

You might consider just replying to your own posts rather than going to the bother of starting a new thread each time. Helps maintain continuity also.

Returned to range to chrony Reloader-17 load. 180 Sierra Spitzer Prvi cases neck sized averaged 2400 fps. The first target is last 10 shot group at 300 yards. My hold was the top of post at bottom of black circle. I used a rest and rear bag. 2nd target my attempt to gauge MOA for 1 click elevation. Shot at 100 yards. As this will change with load it looks like approx 2.5in. +-. At 300 1 click would be about 8 inches. Black on SR3 target is 19 inches so if scope dials true can adjust some with scope. Too much wind and dust for 600 so next time. Fun

Less than 2 MOA at 300yds seems quite acceptable. Esp. with a 10 round group.

No.32 Mk.I scope?

Yes it is a No.32 Mk.1. It is challenging finding return 0 after dialing up or down. Info suggests going 1 click past dial up number and returning because of lash. The leveling wire doesn't want to be level but I can see a fuzzy front sight that helps correct cant. About to settle on load and then practice 600 yards. Thanks for the reply.

You should enter our little "postal" match!

5 shots at 100m (or yards) on the target specified in the link below.:

Milsurp Target Competition and Shoot

You can print out a target from the example shown in the thread and use it. Easy!

ETA: with your rifle, you could do two entries-

Category One- factory iron sights
Category Three- scope on a reasonably stock milsurp rifle.

This first target is 600 yards. Dialed up from 100 then shot and corrected. Group in center is the result. Then dialed down to my 300 yard 0 and shot and corrected. Practice helps. I include picture of rifle my partner will shoot in the match we are practicing for. Even though this scope has crosshairs the ups and downs don't have stops so it is difficult to adjust. This rifle shoots tight with iron but is tough with glass.

Have I missed something? I thought these "T" threads were about an ENfield No. 4 Mk1 (T).
But what I see here is a SPRINGfield.
My eyesight my be poor, but not so bad as to confuse EN with SPRING.
