    Would you be willing to share the drawing? I've searched but can only seem to find dimensions for the case.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It is not about finding fault it is in a world of litigation it is just not worth saying anything that may be construed as an instruction on what weight powder etc to use and so on then something happens gets to a he said she said. I brought lots of reloading books spent countless hours researching loads in them reading ballistic tables till my head spun on mid flight trajectories V's point blanks for the ranges we shot and studied terminal ballistics to eventually years later end up with a small portion of knowledge that allows me to confidently load my weapons up to what they are capable of all the while keeping in mind their age coupled with years of accumulated range testing and competitions. You cannot get anywhere unless you do the yardage like we all did I explained to you about same rifles from a factory being different animals and may not digest the same load equally giving the same accuracy. If you feel threatened and think I am brusque then I am sorry if you feel that way it was not the intent just the plain facts that to get somewhere sometimes the only way is getting on the horse and seeing where it takes you. And truly it can be a fascinating ride there is plenty to learn, I had a few fails in my loads especially with Win-748 the 303's hated it but that is life buy ~ try and see what goes for me it is AR 2209 that is works well but that's just my rifles others may find a different powder that works.

    As it says at the top of the forum ...

    AMMUNITION RELOADING DISCLAIMER: Any and all equipment, materials, and data mentioned on our boards are for informational purposes only, and are not intended to promote or endorse any particular products or technique. Any and all recipes, techniques, and data are to be used at your own risk. We accept no responsibility for the use or misuse of any information found on this wed site.

    Please Note: All reloading activity should be done in strict accordance of the manufacturers' specifications printed in their manuals. Milsurps.com and it's members will be held harmless of any and all information related to reloading data and the use of any ammunition submitted on these boards.

    Due to the age and unknown maintenance and modifications of ex-military weapons there is always an inherent risk of personal injury including death, even when properly loaded ammunition is used. Inherently, reloading ammunition can be dangerous even in new weapons - Adding to this ammunition risk, many milsurp weapons are often well over half a century old with no knowledge of their maintenance and modifications over the many years while in civilian ownership. Milsurps.com does not endorse or take responsibility for discharging any weapon.
    Closing thread now, as I don't see where else it can go from here ...

    Regards,
    Doug
