    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 ...

    I have a beater Racker NPM that I shoot Wolf & other steel case stuff thru. That one I really dont care, its my plinker with a barrel that wont even gage. Now for my collector's I use only Brass Case, primarily Remington & Aguilla. Never had any issues.

    Aguila is known to be slow, about 100'/sec low. I think it runs about 1870 IIRC.

    Scott, Thanks... I have been running across some 110 gr SP Prvi lately and I didnt know if it had enough "juice" to use around the house.

    hello,
    I use a 110gr bullet (preferably sierra) with 13gr of v-v N110.
    Precision is very nice.
    When I started 13 years ago, I bought israeli samson ammunition for cases.
    2 years ago I got two packs of original WCC military rounds, these were the only two occasions I used factory ammo.
