7grns is what I use, I went up to 9 but they started cracking, I have only shot to 300m and once dialed in they will hit a 10'' gong every time.

Well that question has got you all thinking hasn't it, I appreciate the replies.

How do boolits like this for example https://www.reddit.com/r/reloading/comments/8v8vf9/trying_out_some_600_gr_hp_in_4570/ start to spin?. This boolit is full diameter so the front of the boolit will...

A standard service rifle competition load in our club is 28grns of 2206H under a Lyman or NOE 316299 or CBE 316220 boolit, they will shoot to the accuracy of the rifle and shooter out to 300 meters.

I posted a pic, about 450,000 pages ago hahaha. My boolits are the colour of coffee/milk chocolate.

Joe, you should have had a Pneumovax 23 injection but some people only get the 7 or 13 serotype one.

I've been using Texas Tea for years now, my Mk11* Lee Enfield shoots inside the X ring on the military core target out to 300 meters as long as I don't run out of talent, and I can't remember the...

Can I purchase the mold release in Perth or have it shipped to Perth?.

With 16 years experience in theatre I hope you write a book, and those rifles command serious dollars here in Oz.

No problems mate, I might just buy some black and add it to my Texas Tea and make it black, I've been shooting TT for a while and want a change.

Joe, I'm in Perth with a growing band of military rifle casters, is it for the US market only or can I get it here?.

Is this colour available in the powder?, I'm thinking of trying it and a different colour at the same time.

Still getting fantastic results with Hi-Tek, I mostly shoot service rifle these days with my 303's and my scores are consistently better compared to liquid lubes, the lack of greasy dies and guns is...

My MkIII Lee Enfield shoots inside 1.5'' at 100 all day using Hi-Tek, no lube purge flyers, no gummed up dies or rifle, I haven't had much luck with PC but Hi-Tek is brilliant.

Lee Enfield Mk111 with 28grns of 2206H under NOE 316299 or CBE 316220 shoots inside 2'' at 100, 6.5x55 CBE 150grn .269 dia over 23grns of 2206H, I shot 196/200 100m prone at our state titles with...

Lots of good advice on that link. Every 303 I've loaded for, over 20 to date have shot very well with 23grns of AR2207 (H4198) and 28grns of AR2206H (H4895) under 200grn or above boolits sized as big...

I personally think shooting boolits smaller than .315 in any model Lee Enfield is a waste of powder, I also never size my cases, just reload as fired. Any shot gun/pistol powder from 6-10grns works...

I've shot lots of light boolits in my LE's, the problem with getting them to shoot is the long jump they have to the rifling. My Mk111 shoots tiny groups, inside the X ring of a 25m pistol target at...

My No.4 is a two groove with .317 grooves, I use .320 dia 32/40 cast bullets sized to .316 which is the largest dia that will chamber. I run the loaded rounds into a 8x57 FLS die with the ejector pin...

Combat Diver, I'd love one of those sterile cases for my collection, any chance we could organise something?.

I've been getting very promising results in my 303's with AR2213SC which is the Mulwex equivalent to 4831. I started low at 40grns under a 228grn hitek coated CBE boolit and both my competition 5...
No, I use TB in my 303's for training juniors and the low report and recoil combined with the safety and lack of heat make it perfect. I have shot 20-30 rounds in a string at gongs no problems, can't...
