My point was just to acknowledge the dangers of an overcharged  cartridge using my experience only shamu. No more, no less...

Since many of you have traveled the road of parts replacement and SMLE disassembly, I will pose an issue. This same 2A1 requires replacement of the extractor and spring.
Parts headed my way.

BUT-I do have a VERY stubborn extractor screw, and my thinking is that the original extractor spring may be exerting pressure on the screw shaft. The screw slot is starting to get burred, and it's time for second opinions.
Enfield experienced gunsmiths seem almost non-existent here in this area.

Very conservative loading practices used, and will be continued.

I own a 2A that I take to the range from time to time.  I was initially blissfully ignorant of the issues with the 2A and action body warping but soon read about that on this forum and others.  I imagined I dodged a bullet as I was shooting near maximum .308 Winchester handloads in it with 168 grain SMKs.  Sometimes God protects fools and no unpleasant incidents occurred.  Now, I only shoot factory 7.62 NATO or mid-range handloads with pulled M80 147 grain bullets.

Using 41.7grns of IMR4064  or 42.0grns of IMR4895 under a 168grn Sierra MK with a C.O.L. of 2.830" will generate pressures with within the safe range for use in an Enfield rifle. My 7.62mmNo4Mk*...

*DO NOT REPLICATE THIS LOAD IN YOUR ISHAPORE 2A OR 2A1!*

I was torching off 46.5 grains of BL-C(2) under a 168 grain SMK until I learned better.

I wouldn’t shoot that load in a No. 4 7.62 conversion either.
