[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 2168369, member: 3455"] My accuracy/hunting SMLE load is 38.0 of IMR4064 behind Hornady 150gn Interlock #3120. I believe 4064 and Varget are very close. SMLE is very sensitive to loads, it likes to throw flyers - and the hotter the load the more sensitive it gets, aka throwing MORE wild flyers*. I wouldn't worry about the velocity so much and look for a accurate load. * One theory is that the action stretches with every shot and then springs back occasionally; another that the lack of any proper action/stock creates havoc on harmonics.
