    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.

    I tried Retumbo in September 2013, and managed to get chronograph 12-ft readings of a bit more than 3000 fps. with the 160-grain Woodleigh bullet. However, I'll not suggest a starting load, nor will I post the loads I used. There is too much variation in bore and chambers among Ross M-10 sporters. Brass capacity and strength will vary considerably, depending on source -- original or formed from something else. Bullet diameters can be a problem for the unwary too.

    If some forum member knows of a source of pressure-tested data from a reputable, reliable ballistics lab (Hodgdon, Lyman, or one of the bullet mfrs, I wish they would share that information in a post.

    Thanks.
