    Thanks guys
    May have to rethink, might pull the bullets and load my powder for a "normal" velocity then reseat the pills. What do you think?

    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.

    update

    Well guys, here is the story, as per my last post I was going to pull the bullets and charge up the cases with my normal 4064 load. In checking my powder supply, I remembered I used all of the 4064 and neglected to replace it. As we all know now, powders are IMPOSSIBLE to find.

    So here is my next idea.
    1-pull bullets
    2-measure each case charge then average it out
    3-reduce the charge by 10% and reload existing powder and bullet

    Do you think that would bring the FPS and pressure down to a safer level?
