Hi everyone, im a new member from tassie (south island of Australiaicon), an need some help. I have Lee enfield No1 Mlll* that I have turned into a sporter, ramline stock etc. and have started reloading using 125 grn sierra pro hunter projectiles. The problem i have with this projectile is the loss of velocity caused by the amount of freebore and gas bypassing the projectile before it can engage in the rifling. The reloading data in the manual im using suggests I should be getting around 2900 fps but I estimate im only getting between 2000-2200 fps. Can some one give me some advice on if it is possible to have the throat shortened to help with this problem.
