Thanks for this. I wish more time was available to share videos and shooting experiences. Hopefully by the time warm weather returns this spring I'll have the ability to make more videos.
hey if you really want to see it shine with accuracy, use a flat base bullet. stay away from the boat tailed projectiles with enfields if possible, they just tend to not have the surface area required to be really accurate. if you are only shooting at close distances under 300 yards you wont notice the benefits of the aerodyanmics of a boat tail anyway. enfields tend to have really worn throats of the chamber due to the cordite ammo they were shot with for years. flat base bullets will expand a bit and seal better in the bore and really grip the rifling. i have seen many enfields keyhole boat tail rounds at distances even as close as 25 yards due to worn throats and bores. but then fed with flat bases, they go right on and print 3" groups at 100 yards.
So I came to see the latest video as you asked in your response, Dan. Your sling catches are still on backwards; the open gaps of the sling catches should face OUTWARD. Not inward towards the stock. Reverse the direction you feed the sling through the sling loops. Doesn't affect how well or how accurately the rifle shoots, of course.
@@dirtydan8342 Just pointing it out. Won't change the accuracy or anything else. If you enjoy knowing more about your rifle and all things Lee Enfield, go to the Milsurps forum where there's everything including old Lee Enfield armourers that worked in the arsenals working on these rifles. I'm not a collector, I've just been shooting them in competition for decades. And if I had my druthers, I'd have a proper shooting sling on my rifle, not the issue sling (and sights) that are required. But then, other than competitive shooters, how many people these days know how to properly sling up to gain the additional support from a sling? They shoot off a bench or a bipod... and the Silhouette competitors say something like "We don't need no steenkin' slings" while trying to mow down the rams way out there on the range.
@@dirtydan8342 Oh yeah... forgot to mention, you can download LOTS of the official military pams for that Lee Enfield of yours. Right down to the instructions for First Line maintenance and beyond.
A month latter and I'm watching your last Video again. Just wanted to say "Big Thumbs Up". Watching Notifications for your next Video.

Thanks for viewing the video. I'm going to make a point to correct my slings this weekend. Thanks for being diligent.
