    Bullet factory 303 174gn HPBT

    As stated went and tested the new projies against the Sierra 174gn SMK's.
    Used a No.4 1942 Savage which is 1 of my range hacks 2 groove barrel about 8/10.
    No.4 Sniper T 1944 BSA Shirley 47C barrel 8/10

    I am pleased with the results thus far the wide ones were myself getting it all wrong only one target showed reasonable trigger control for the 303.
    Our range is nearly finished as far as repairs go all we have to do is wait for the Commonwealth Range Inspector to come over and pass the range (hopefully) its been nearly 18 months closed....... so then the long range testing can go ahead.
    Whilst 25yds gives a bit of an idea its really in the longs like from 300 ~ 800m that the real work has to begin.
    The green target was at 174m again my APRS 308 shot from a bi-pod and rear bag shows just what a good build it is a .25MOA for 3 shots. 168gn "A" Max
    Also here is the device I utilize to measure the moa does it all for you up to 500yds or 500m handier than a caliper and tells you straight away gives other info as well see pics.
    Made by STS Minute of Angle Ruler $15/AU cheap as just have to watch you do not treat it to harshly otherwise you may loose the markings. So expect more later on with this bullet.

    Load was for the Bullet Factory projectile 2.441" to ogive, crimped (medium), R.P brass, Fed 210 primer, 46gn 2209.

    ***Note No Responsibility/Liability accepted with this load in your firearm start 5% under***

    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.
