    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 ...

    I tried that with lead ball in 45-70 at one point, with limited success too. Not much penetration with this cartridge. Not like ball.

    green tip duples 7,62 from Viet Nam

    an early 22/7,62x51mm and a green tip duplex which used two 83 grain bullets. There was limited use in Viet Nam of the duplex 7,62mm

    There was an M1icon sold a few years ago in PA chambered for the 22-06 duplex, these rifles are around. It was often rumored that the old DCM sent some 22-06 rifles to
    customers by mistake, most were returned. Not much you can do with a 22-06 M1 except to hang it on the wall

    The US Army even tried some duplex round ball loads in the black powder 45 Colt, the round ball duplex loading in 45-70 lasted until WW1 and there was a duplex loading
    of lead balls for the 30-40 Krag too.

    That's where I got the idea, I could only manage a double load. The ball in front of the powder would fly true and the front one, only being pushed...would strike in a four inch circle somewhere around the back ball. It also showed less penetration... I should thing these would run the same. I was using a Ruger #3 for the platform. 457 round ball...
    Regards, Jim
