Any other info from those who have used 174 flat base bullets versus BT would be welcome

My No. 4 MK2 takes both.
The No 1s, MKIII and V, both insist on a flat-base, and if they don't get it, they go all moody and start chucking the bullets around. With the right diet of FB, they can manage a 2" wide group at 100 meters. As to the height of the group, that's a problem of eyeballs and bedding - I haven't quite got the answer yet. All of these rifles have "as new, ex-arsenal" barrels - or at least, they did when I purchased them. I suspect that if you dig around the Enfield site long enough you might discover that the forcing cone/transition or whatchacallit was tightened up on the No. 4.

Unbelievable, they have to ship them to the States and still work out cheaper than here at home. They are usually around $60 a box of 50 here but have a dealer mate who gets them for me for the cost to him.
