Now then has armedeus76 got his 303 yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not yet, but I'll probably be hitting Brian Dick up in the next couple days after my Texas move headaches subside.

I thought the AIA's came in 2 calibers 308 WIN & 7.62 x 39 the latter may be hard to get at gun shops in the sticks but 308 is pretty much obtainable anywhere you go.

As far as I know, only the No. 4 repro was in .308; the carbines were in 7.62x39.

I know someone with one of the 7.62x39 carbines and it's a nice rifle which shoots well but it's troublesome to feed; finding ammo isn't always easy and it's mostly Norinco stuff, from what he tells me.

The M10A1 and M10A2 were in 7.62 x 39 Russian, the M10B1 and M10B2 were in 7.62 x 51 / 308W, the planned .223 Rem was never built to my knowledge

The Mk.8z was made for the Vickers MMG but for some reason, all of the reasonable surplus, (namely S&B and PPU), is loaded with boat tail projectiles. That's fine for a new in the wrap Mk.2 but what about the other rifles that have seen their fair share of cordite Mk.7?

Stand by for lots of flyers and keyholes.

I must be the luckiest guy as every Lee Enfield I own and have shot shoots Sierra Match King 174 gr. boat tails extremely well.

I have to agree with that, also the 150gr SMK is a perfect match for 7.62mm Enfields like the Envoys and L39's etc.

[CINDERS]

Same here the 174 SMK's go well the 150gn Hornady Spire point fly's good to 400M as it is a FB and .312" out of all my 303's

Because you have good barrels. He was pointing out barrels that had a weaker commencement.
