Just some humble FYI for what it's worth...since you don't reload (once you try a cheap Lee Loader, you will attain a new level of spiritual joy)...

In researching specs for my friend's #4 sporter, the one I fired last week...barrel harmonics seem to be the limiting factor with them (don't know what damping effect all that G.I. wood may exert), and 2400-2450 fps. (if memory serves) is optimal. We wonder what the Hornady Light Magnum moly-coated rounds may do.

Muttly must now look into this magic Swiss rifle he always wanted anyway..so off we go !

Hello C&R.

I reload. I just don't reload .303 for the Enfield or 6.5 for my Swiss Mauser. I think the reason is, I never wanted an Enfield in the first place. I just happened to acquire it. I did buy the Swiss Mauser but I thought I was going to get a lot of surplus ammo for it. Both rifles were shot a couple of times and then forgotten.

As far as reloading is concerned, I only enjoy it so I can shoot a lot. I never liked the idea of switching the primer set up for the Dillon. Check my profile page. I have two Dillons set up. One for large primers and the other for small.
