    CDN 2013 mk8 in a T?

    Aside from the trajectory not matching the drums on the scope is there any reason I shouldn't use 2013 CDN made mk8 ammo in my T?

    Found a great article on Enfield Riflesicon.com explain8ng how all mk8 isnt made equal and it encouraged me.
    But still like to hear what everyone here has to say.

    You are referring to the IVI made Ranger issue ammunition? No reason not to use it. Good non-corrosive Boxer primed ammunition. It isn't Mk. 8 machinegun ammunition, if that is what you are wondering.

    We Rangers are currently issued soft point ammo.......not ball anymore. From my experience I was able to get better groupings through my various Enfields with the ball than the soft point.

    The only real difference is the boat tail projectile vs the Mk.7 flat base. As long as your throat erosion isn't extreme from the use of cordite, it should shoot fine.
