Question on reload

[tincansailor1]

Hello Again

Was digging in the garage trying to retrieve my packed up reloading gear when I found a box of reloads that were made by a friend of mine years ago. He was the same guy who got me hooked on the Enfield to begin with. He was a detail oriented person when it came to reloading and kept excellent documentation. I don't have access to a manual at this time and was wondering if any of you esteemed gentlemen could verify if this is a light, medium or hot load. I don't want to use a hot load, if it is, I will disassemble it when time permits and load to a lighter spec.

Thanks for your help.

According to Mr. Sierra's big ring-binder, that load is supposed to give you a muzzle velocity of approx. 2200fps.

It is listed as "middle of the range", pressure-wise.

Unless the propellant has deteriorated from contamination or extended exposure to heat, it should be OK.
