    Smokeless Powder out of oa cordite Rifle

    Im hoping to take my Speed Lee out to test it tomorrow. I had it looked at at a couple of places, they both told me it should be good to fire and also good to fire smokless powder .303 rounds despite it does say Cordite Only on the receiver, if anyone knows better please let me know, Im considering holding it out stretched looking away and letting the round loose but would appreciate better insight. Thanks.

    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.

    Consider this: Cordite is smokeless, therefore...
