GIbOB,
Would still be based on OAL. And diameter would be the same.
Heavier or lighter, bullet weight would be in the case......... Right ?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The heavy 30-06 ball does not work with the carbine. IT should be an M2 round. The 150 FMJ bullet is the only one that is correct!!!!!!!!! Now one made by PPU is fine to use as a gauge in place of a muzzle wear gauge. In fact any of the commercial versions of an M2 works OK. The M2 bullet is made to the same specs,

Charlie, I enjoyed some time outside away from the computer today. Believe it or not, it was 56F, sunny, and only a light wind - not bad for January weather! I haven't even had the snow plow out yet - been thinking of taking the studded tires off the pickup soon, if this keeps up.

I was just guessing that the M1 icon

ball bullet profile might differ enough to affect the "bullet test" result. Bruce seems to think so. I've got a few rounds of LC '68 M2 Ball and also a box of Korean (Pusan, I think) M2 Ball. Might look to see if they're about the same OAL and if there's any differences in the bullets. - Bob

Replying to no one in particular:
Muzzle wear gauges are available on the internet for $15 or so.
