    Hornady M1 Ammo Build..?

    Now that M1icon shooters have match quality ammo available from Hornady I was wondering if there might be developed rifles built especially for this ammo? Would it be an option for the guy that doesnt handload as well as a way to exceptional performance in JCG matches to rebarrel and build up an M1 specifically for such ammo? TIA H

    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.

    you would be better off learning to reload. beside having a barrel twist to maximize the bullet weight, i can't see how you would tune the rifle to the ammo besides normaly proven accuracy tips.
