    Any of Lyman's Cast Bullet Handbooks will get you on the right path.

    Might want to start with "The Load" of 13 gr. of Red Dot. Just be very very careful of double charges.

    I don't have an Enfield but I shoot that bullet sized to .310" in my M1903 & 03A3 Springfield 30 cals with excellent results.
    18-19 gr 5744 yields 14-1500 fps. Accurate and VERY low SD. While the 311299 is supposed to be the bore rider for the 30 cals. I've found the 314299 to be THE bore rider that works in mine. No reason you couldn't try those loads in the Enfield with the bullet best sized to your groove diameter of course.
