M96 swede range report

I had a blast today with my Swedish icon

Mauser. I got the action back from the smith on Monday with the Soderin diopter installed. I added an Elit front so I am essentially looking through 2 peep sights. I had to do a minor modification on the rear sight as it was shooting about 5 inches high. Now it's dead on. 140 gr Sierra Game King, 49.5 gr IMR 4064 chronied at 2555'/sec. Not bad for 63 year old eyes if I do say so myself. Regards, Rick.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It's not only a good looking rifle but a good looking range from what I can see.
Nice shooting. Mind if I try your recipe?

Not at all. 39.5 gr IMR4064 with a 140 gr Sierra Game King boat tail, Winchester brass and CCI primer. I suspect the flat base pro hunter may be more accurate but I have none on hand. My range is my back yard as I live on my farm. The neighbors don't complain as there are none. Regards, Rick.

OK, which recipe is correct? You've listed 2 different powder charges.
Thanks!
