Aussie shooter in Utah

I moved to Utah from Western Australia in December 2010 and bought a place in Alpine.  Last year, I picked up a SMLE No1 MkIII (Ishapore 1953) at a gun show for $225.  Bargain, I thought.  They are often more expensive back in Perth.  Anyway, I've been having fun developing a handload that replicates the 174 gr/2440 fps milspec, and now I'm trying to get the gun shooting to point of aim.

I'd really like to get a Lithgow from 1918 or earlier.  Anyone in the States got a good one they want to sell?  Would also like to get a good No4 MkI....

Eventually, I want to shoot in the VIMBAR competitions at the Golden Spike range.  Need to get a bit more practice with the SMLE and get it shooting properly.  But if there's anyone out there in Utah who wants to get together for some informal shooting, drop me a PM.

Apart from playing with my Lee Enfield, I regularly shoot SASS matches, have a couple of bolt-action rifles that I'm working up loads for, shoot muzzle-loaders with the Mountain Men of the Wasatch and the Free Mountain Trappers of Ogden, mess around with cap-and-ball revolvers, occasionally shoot a round of trap, and generally have fun plinking.  Moving to the States from Australia has made me a bit gun-crazy.  Too much freedom!

One, once brought eight handguns to the range! Another collects German pistols which I suppose provides balance for my collecting Enfields.

Get out now, before they take all your guns.  WA is run by a bunch of muppets.  It doesn't seem to matter whether the government is Labor or Liberal, the cops always seem to call the shots on firearms legislation.  WA cops think that they should be the only ones allowed to own guns.  So glad I live in a State where most police are pro-gun.
