So I've been trying different loads, powders, boolet size and weight, in my 2A Enfield.
At 50yds it seems too shoot well. At 100yds, no so much.
I just thought I hadn't found the correct combination yet.
i was looking for something else and found my .308 head space gauges.
Decided to check the head space on the 2A.
Closed on the no-go gauge.
Ugggggggggg.
Never thought to check it. The head indexes to the body correct, so i assumed it was OK.
After doing so web surfing, I found this is a common occurrence.
The head is a #2, but it's a hassle to find a longer one that indexes correctly.
I've heard of people welding the face of the head, and machine it, to gain the length to correct the head space.
Seems like to much work.
I'm probably going to fire form the shells to fit the chamber and neck size only.
I'm hoping it will help with the accuracy.
