Can anyone coomment on this observation from an old Aussie sniper from Korean War:

"As the rifle bolt on the .303 is locked at the rear, there would be a crossover of shots at between 900 and 1200 yds. This was an odd characteristic of the Lee Enfield. It meant that the rounds would impact to the left or right of the aiming point. … Rifle was zeroed at 300 yds" He was firing the No.1 HT.

Was this a well known aspect of the SMLE?

Cheers

Glenn
