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.

Al, you got it right, it is the 8mm Pieper (8,4x40R) even factory loaded in the USA icon

until around 1916. Pieper revolvers and carbines used in Mexico from the late 1890's into the 1930's

loading buy Remington for the 8mm Pieper: 106 gr bullet @ 1150 fps

photo shows two American black power cartridges, the cartridge on the right is the 45 Colt,

guess the other cartridge ?Attachment 56564

**Al Diehl** · 09-27-2014 06:28 PM

Is it a .45 Silhouette? (A .45-70 shortened to 1.5") No, it can't be that because you said Black Powder. Is it a .45-60 Winchester?

need to re-word my statement, Winchester never manufactured a firearm chambered for this cartridge. The cartridge shown in the photo has a Winchester headstamp
