    OK so far, most holes appear round and within what I'd expect to see for fall of shot. I'll be interested to see your later exploits and see how they compare to some of the text I've studied about the inserts.

    It was worth doing too wasn't it? Fun...
    Regards, Jim

    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.

    check the grease marks on the holes. I would guess the holes far apart are mostly old ammo and inexperienced first time shooter firing full bore ammo.

    The Kynoch ammo is most likely corrosive. It is the main reason a lot of M-10 .280 Ross rifles have buggered bores.
