[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1243794, member: 90399"] My little Lee Enfield project had got put on the back burner for quite a while. I was going through some of my old targets that I had saved and saw some that I had shot with my 303 Brit. Not bad groups for an old war rifle. But over an inch at 100 yards for sure. Some groups got close to 1 inch, but most of them were 1.5 inches to 1.75 inches. I remembered I had some Tubb's Final Finish bullets in .312 caliber. So I loaded them up a few weeks ago and went through the whole process... and what a process it is. I forgot how long it takes to clean & shoot & clean & shoot & clean & shoot... It had got too dark and I never got to shoot an "after" group. Until today! With cheap Prvi ammo I clover leafed 4 shots at 100 yards! Wow! With a clean and cold barrel the very first shot was a tad away from the group. But shots 2-5 made 1 hole! Yes I just clover leafed cheap factory ammo out of a rifle that was made in 1943! I regret only bringing a partial box of ammo to the range tonight. I didn't have any more to keep testing. I really do like the way this rifle turned out from the work I put into it. I have a SWFA 10x scope on it currently. Now that it's shooting so sweet, I'm going to have to chrono some loads and stretch it out further! Did I mention that the action is incredibly smooth and the magazine holds 10 rounds? I think this just turned into my favorite mil-surp rifle. :) [/QUOTE]
