    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.

    I was shooting my T out to 550 yards yesterday, after re setting the zero at 100 yards set on 1 it as simple as turning the dial to 5.5 for 550y and I was getting consistent hits on my gong.

    the shooting do not take place yet - getting a line slot at the range is nigh on impossible right now so we have to go to BLM land in CA to shoot at this range. it will be a wee while but i shall re zero at 100yds before then and work accordingly from there.

    Doing this at 900x you just add 2 1/2 MoA to your normal elevation of 34 1/2 = 37 MoA.
    Ironically I was shooting with the ATSC on Wednesday at 900x with my No.4 SR"b" and did just that.
    Well I shot 900 yrds at Bisley with the 4(T) this morning, but heat haze at the temps climbed into the high 20's was an issue for the guys shooting 7.62 HB target No.4's with PH5C aperture sights......whereas it wasn't so much an issue for me with the 4(T), and 37 clicks from stop got me just hitting the bank in front of the target, so needed to wind it up about 4-5 more clicks depending on the wind gusts which were from behind and slight across the right...
    Anyway the old girl did wonderfully and I bagged a respectable 40.2, which for an old battle rifle at 900 yrds wasn't too shabby I thought.......(and outscored all the 7.62 HB No.4 target rifles guys with their bondage jackets and straps as well, which was amusing )

    Probably won't come first the next time though as we've 3 new younger members with just acquired modern black plastic sniper 7.62 thingies with 24x scopes etc., but it was the first time they've shot them and they hadn't quite got them zero'd perfectly or had the wrong rings or some other techy thing, that they were all had programmed into their Iphones from apps from the scope makers

    I was their this morning with my made up T and L42 at the rather More modest distance of 300yrds shooting the castle, accompanied by 5 of the black plastic (all right one was green) AI club. The old rifles acquitted them selves quite well, even with me behind the bolt we certainly weren’t last.

    Our club 300 yrd shoot isn't till Remembrance Sunday (assuming we're not in another lockdown by then) so I'll probably just take the No.5 and K98kicon to that one....although with my eyes, there's high risk of shooting out the leccy target wires with the 5 and K98 at that range, so will probably have to wait until everyone else has had a go I normally only drag them out for 100 yrd shoots now but we lost our 100 yrd booking during lockdown.
    Next month I'd be dragging the 4(T) out again, as we've got a 600 yrd shoot.

    Excuses excuses thingies and I-phones yes well you have to know your elevation to the mm at 900 because if you have not shot from all the ranges up to that point then your really trying to jag it even then your only really in the ball park as atmospherics can play havoc with your elevation. We shoot 3-4-5-6-7-8-9M & 1000 yds so you have to have it right and basically one load that groups and will still be supersonic at the furtherest range so you don't go transitional where it counts.
    To try and spot a bullet strike at 900 yds on a mirage infested range will test the best scope or spotter I have used the 80 power on my rifle scope with a guy shooting a 223 at 900 and try as we all may could not find where the splash was for all we knew they may have been sailing over the top we tried hold low low & high still back to 300 you go and go from there.
    What I hate is on your first sighter at 900 with a cold clean bore you get an X hmmm! now was that a bad shot that went good or a good shot that went bad most times your left with a dilema as a 5 usually follows so cut the X, 5 and try again or keep the X, 5 and hope you don't drop another.
    From experience on our range its infested with a mirage that defies logic bit like a chopper blade doing all 3 movements whilst your trying to guess where its at, its either boiling or going left to right like a switch back at varying degrees whilst you look at it and the wind flags are normally going opposite to the mirage!!!
