    Chubbs, apologies for the lateness of my reply but I don't often wander this far from the Lee Enfield forum.

    The NRA when asked for proof that 155 gr ammunition was dangerous in Lee Enfield's went to ground and realised that they actually had no proof.
    However LERA's secretary decided, (I'm TR Captain) that we ought to be responsible to our members and also to our collection of Lee Enfield Riflesicon by only firing factory made 144 gr ammunition through them.

    It's been admitted privately (so the rumours say) that somebody in the range office/NRA building went of at half cock and issued the statement without any reliable research and it was all based on hearsay.
    My take on it is an historical one, the rifles were designed for 144 gr; 150 gr works very well in the load I have mentioned above, but just how far do you push these things...?

    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.

    46gns AR 2209 with 174Gn SMK or TBF (The Bullet Factory) 174Gn FBHP with Fed 210 Match primer Rem cases the standard load for all my 303's do not know why some one would say that.

    Heres a load chart that duplicates Match Grade ammo think one is the M118 round group sizes in inches at 300-600Yds top set and 300 M bottom set are on the right side.

    Cinders,
    Cheers for that I too was about to fire that off, but couldn't find it when you need it.

    Fultons currently sell their own match ammo, which I have used without issue in my L42. It is a 155gr SMK (the 2155 variant) and 46grains of RS50.

    The .303 load is a 174grn SMK with 40 grains of RS50, for comparison.
