    Looks like the left one is loaded with a 7.62 NATO bt, M80 etc, and right one has M2 30-06 bt.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    From my research last night the bullet weights are the same but the Danishicon used a flat bottom bullet. I just shoot them, I don't know what the different types of bullets do other than the very basics.

    Early Danish 30 cal used a flat base M2 bullet but late production had a boattail bullet similar to 7.62 M80 in weight but closer in profile to Germanicon and Austrian 7.62.
    What's the headstamp on your lot? The one I had was AMA 91 IIRC.

    The vast majority of Garand's do not shoot well with the boat tail 150 gr bullets. They shoot much better with the standard M2 as it is longer and has the small extra amount of jacket to stabilize it. The heavier M1icon bullet being a boat tail does shoot well from the Garand but only because of the total over all length of the bullet and more then enough jacket to be stabilized well by the rifling.
