I don't like never exceed loads, but there is one or two that have the fps for a particular B C that I am looking at. I know I have to start with the starting load and work up.skd

I have had Enfields that had such oversized chambers that I would get case head separation with the 1st firing of factory commercial ammo! I love my Enfields (i've got 15 of 'em) and i have been reloading for them since the early 60's some are better than others, but....with a 180 grain or heavyier bullet at modest velocity, it has the reputation for deep penetration, and will kill anything big enough to die. Hope this helps, DM
