The message I get from all this is that even if the SMLE sction just about copes with 7.62mm 144 grain ammo when the body is made from EN steel, the conversion process pushes it to its very limits. The No4 body is intrinsically more heavily built & stronger, but even in that I only shoot 144gr service ammunition. Other people can do what they wish; I'm no Brad Pitt, but I'm happy with my facial features just as they are......
