[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1738153, member: 3455"] #1 - don't have too high of expectations from SMLE - any of you guys think you are SMLE crackshot - you are welcome at the SMLE @ OKCGC or TriCity match to clean the bank. Partial neck size ONLY - SMLE chambers are HUGE and throats are HUGE, full sizing will wear out brass fast. Brass: PPU, Rem or Win. Doesn't matter - none of them are particularly good or bad. Stay away from S&B - those were waaaay undersized and will head-separate. Bullet: Every rifle is different - just try different bullets with "proven" loads. Don't get tied up in "slugging" - I have .313 mosin that shoots .308s with flying colors. Powder: Sometimes you can get away with reduced loads (21.0 gn of 4198 or 4759 or 4227), but the record holder shoots 42.0 of IMR4064 behind 150gn SN FB bullet. This is about average SMLE match results: [url]http://www.okcgunclub.org/military/mb/match12410.html[/url] Some more reduced loads here: [url]http://www.okcgunclub.org/military/mb/303.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
