The Long Branch in action
The No.4 Mk I "Long Branch" has arrived. All matching numbers, including the stock, mint bore, excellent overall condition.
I installed the match rear sight and took it shooting. My load was 21 grains SR4759 and the old Ideal 311284; the really old mold that casts at 0.314. Perfect for the 303.
Initial shooting easily provided 2 minute accuracy off a crude rest.
Subsiquent shooting over our long range course which has ten targets from 395 yards on out to 834 yards have proven that the load and rifle already work so well that I can only say how very happy I am with the way things sometimes come together. And! I have not even worked on perfecting the loading combination yet.
Good afternoon,

Now, I'm wondering what you mean!
Looking at my Lyman cast manual, which doesn't list the 7mm-06, but does list the 280 Rem, which is very close...but doesn't have a load for the powder you chose.
StarMetal,
I'm puzzeled by your post.
I did not say anything about 7mm/06 at all! Only some vague mention of what I'd loaded into a 303 British cartridge. Can you explain this thing to me?
I'd be happy to help of course, but need to know the original question.
Good afternoon,
Forrest
