Well, that proves that you cannot expect accuracy with surplus ammo. Note I am not saying you cannot achieve accuracy, I just mean you cannot expect it.

Incidentally, how big is your 10 ring? We do not all use the same targets, you know.

Also good news about the Wolf ammo. Sounds like it is worth the money. $8 for a box (do not give me that $7.99 sh*t) - how many in a box?

This "shooting high" stuff makes me laugh. What did you have the sights set at? With Mk 1 sights set up correctly and set to 200 (lowest marked setting), your point of impact should be about 2" high. If you are higher, you have two options open to you. Either:

- find a setting where you get an acceptable point of impact and note the setting down in the notebook you keep for every rifle

OR

- fit a taller foresight. They came in different heights for this very purpose.

One thing that can be said is that the rifle is obviously a good one!

 Thats good shootin' Ed . Good to hear about havin' a good buddy with ya too .

Lately , I've found some South African fodder . I measured the pill at .308 and was somewhat sceptical at first but I'm getting aprox. 3" groups no prob. at 100yd and surprizingly , just a shade more out to 300yd using my '44 Maltby or my Longbranch . My scoped Savage has abit more of a spread , but I'm still happy with the results.

I shoot the expensive stuff as well , since I also hunt with my Longbranch and thats when I really need to be seriously accurate. It doesn't seem to matter what range I shoot , 50yd to 300yd , I'm still on the money with Winchester Super X CXP3 180gr . PSP's

 Ed Hill, that rifle is a keeper so many different milsurp. ammo makers as to make it a waist of time shooting it. no wonder enfields are known as 3" shooters.  .303CARBINE will jump in soon,i,llwager i stick with remington 180 RN corelocks,.they work 4 me,.303 Carbine is always cooking up some very accurate hand loads that usually shoot well in my customized SAVage/pARKER HALE #4MK1*/3.        &nb sp;          was shooting it with a 3X9 scope,but had to lift my cheek off the stock because of the scpoe heigth.went back to a compact 4X.  SHOOTS WELL,but not as well as yours   ENJOY POPS (glenn

 HOADIE

 You sneaky bugger....but i never thought of that. nice way to impress some people on the range.

 I could be a local attraction pullin that stunt, maybe stand there with a blind fold on, and always findin the bulls eye!    

I was spotting for a friend who was having trouble hitting the target at 100 yards. He passed the rifle to me and suggested I have a go. I fired and he started to tell me where it had gone. I did not listen - I fired another 4. There was a group on the target. He looked puzzled and asked me where I was aiming. I told him that I looked through the fuzzy hole and put the fuzzy thing at the other end of the barrel on the centre of the fuzzy white thing I could almost see 100 yards away.

Of course, I was taking the same aim every time, while he insists on chasing his last shot all over the range.

There are so many variables that you cannot get an appreciation of where one of these old clunkers is pointing until you have sent at least 3 rounds down range.

I do not like scopes - all they do is show how unsteady my hold is.
