Snider-Enfield

[krinko]

Yeah, it's not a Lee Enfield, but do you really care?
Shot twelve out of it Sunday---five drawn Bertram and seven turned NDFS cases.
Bullet was a Minie coated X2 with "Moly Mist" over 75 grains of Goex FFg.
The Moly coated the bore and kept the fouling loose, I suppose---no grease cookies, card wads or other voo-doo used and still I got dinner-plate accuracy, offhand at 100 yards.
(There's a ten page thread on "accuracy" of the Snider over at British Militaria and the conclusion seems to be---it's hopeless---so I am more than satisfied.)
Mick, I'm 11 rounds ahead of you now.
