    Enfield day at the range







    Last week I made a trip to Sierra Bullets and came home with 20 lbs of 180gr .311 STP and 155gr .308 BTHP bullets. They were out of the 174 BTHP at that time. Loaded up several test lots with AA- 2520, Benchmark, Varget and H-4895 in 303. It stopped raining yesterday and I managed to get to the range for the first time this year. Took all my Enfields and fired 140 round through them testing all the load combinations. I discovered that 40gr of Varget with the Sierra 180gr SBT was the best combination and it worked very well in all my 303s. I was hoping to find one load the would shoot well in both my No 4 and No 5 and it looks like I have. Now I just need to get busy at the loading bench and get back to the range.

    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.
