    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Try cartridges of the world. That publication has all loads and military spec for everything. Strange question...what with the availability of the internet...a bit of searching will gain all.

    Duplicating the muzzle velocities is no problem but unless you have a supply of mil spec bullets for each caliber you list exterior ballistics are going to be a problem, with exception of the 30-06 and 7.62x53R Finn. PRVI claims to make a 30 cal 150gr bullet that is M2 mil spec but thats only what I've read. The D166 bullets for the 7.62x53r Finn version are available from Lapua but they aint cheap. I've had good results loading 30-06 ammo that very closely duplicates the ballistics of M2 ball using Remington 150gr Bronze Point bullets(not cheap either) for hunting with the M1icon Garand. Unless it's unavailable in your area why even bother with 7.62x54R for the 91/30. It's still readily available at fairly cheap prices around here.
