    Boer carbine at 100 meters

    Last week, under "Watch this space" on the BP forum, I posted this 50-meter test target:

    Attachment 44641

    The 3 sharp holes were made by the Boer carbine (7x57) using, as Jmoore quickly spotted, S&B "CE" ammo with 173gn hunting bullets that have a long cylindrical portion and a step that punches very clean holes. This ammo seems to harmonize very well with the Boer carbine. Having checked that the carbine was on target, today's target was instantly at 100 meters. No sight adjustment at all!

    Attachment 44640

    Looks fine, but I know that I can hardly do better with open sights (especially with the very short sight radius of the carbine). So the next trial may be with a peephole sight.

    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.
