    Agreed.

    The problem comes when folks don't realise what the rifle was built to use and start using other ammunition (hotter, heavier bullets etc).
    Its like your car and all its components are built to use a (say) 3 litre 300hp engine, you change it out for a 6 litre 600hp engine and then wonder why the clutch starts to slip, the geartrain components cannot handle the power, the tyres loose traction etc.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
