Enfield P14 .303 British Ammo maximum possible muzzle velocities

[ArizonaBeagle]

With a S.M.L.E. Mark III and 25 inch barrel you can expect 2450 or so from factory loaded ammo in the 180 gr. range. The P14 adds one inch of barrel but not much of a gain for velocity.

You made me go look for my recent chronograph results and here's what I found,

No4MKI HXP ammo average velocity was 2553
No4MKI POF ammo average velocity was 2484 The temperature was 89.

No1MkIII POF ammo average velocity was 2337. The temperature that day was 106.

Now I have to get out the P14 and see what the difference is, if any.
