I just came back from a trip with the NRF No 1, the recently refinished No 4, and the Mosin. Had 50 rounds for each gun, this was a sort of new brass work out for the guns. Anyway, for the Enfields I loaded up 38grns of IMR4895, a midlevel load, under 174grn Hornady match bullets. Winchester brass for the No 4 and RP brass for the No 1 (my way of keeping them separate for neck size purposes). No surprises here with respect to accuracy. The load matched the sites rather well but I found it interested that the No. 1 was far more accurate in my hands but I could feel the recoil more. I'm guessing this has more to do with my experience with open sites and relative inexperience with peep sites. I don't know if Claven ever fired the No. 1 but that thing is bang on. Unfortunately I don't have my best target to show.
The interesting part was my Mosin reloading experiment. I had previously tried out 40/42 grains of IMR 4895 under 150grn bullets to see what happened. They went bang but were nothing special. This time I took 50grns of H414, which I don't like in my Enfields and have to burn off in another gun, and put that under 125grn sp's, 150grn sps, and the 174 Hornada match bullets. I normally don't advise doing this but I have little data to go on and the Lee manual advises that 50grns of H414 is fine for 165grn and 180grn bullets. As it turns out that 174grn loads had a ton of oomph to them, a heavy load and a heavy bullet, that I shant be repeating. The 150grn loads were pleasant to shoot but the load didn't match the sites and a such I have no picture. The 125grns under 50grns H414 matched my sites bang on, were quite accurate at 100yards, and at 200yards freehand I nailed the gong 4/5 times. They were nice and light to shoot which was a perk.
All targets at ~100yards
No. 1
