Long Lee at Catterick

Just a snap from jjvc of me enjoying another V bull at 300 yards with a Long Lee Enfield today. :shakeshout:

Shot the 310 Cadet at 100 yards also and it was holding the 5 ring with ease with 5.3 gns of Nobel Pistol No 2. :goodjob:

Left handed as well...?

Oh and as much as we respect you, Adam, "enjoying" usually involves a smile....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Are they black powder or nitro loads?

Seriously though at this club we get a lot of new shooters and members friends and family coming as every day is a guest day and a selection of firearms is always taken for they to shoot, experience and enjoy. I like Enfields and 303 British so have the odd one or two in my collection.

The cast boolit loads I make are rifle specific and designed for maximum accuracy, so for fun range days I usually load up 1000 round batches of condoms at a time on my progressives that are all full length resized so fit any 303 and eases the logistics at the firing points with people shooting my rifles, you can just grab a handful and go shoot.

I also still have a few thousands of the original 303 flat based 174 gn ball to use up so with some N140 it makes for a good round that shoots good in any 303 at a lot less cost than Prvi or whatever.

My cast boolit fix today was in 310 Cadet and 7.62 NATO. The 7.62 NATO starts to get mildly interesting and little less boring with cast boolits, also a lot more accurate and can be made into a 1000 yrd round.

I shoot rifle with my left and pistols with my right.

I am probably a natural left hander and was shooting long guns from an early age so they naturally came up to my left shoulder, at school you had to write with your right hand and us lefties had our left hands strapped to our sides with a leather belt.

When I got into pistols in my early 20s I was right handed so shoot them from the right, I am right eye dominant at present.

I am using my mouse left handed just now but if I was to use my laptop it would be right handed.

Just one mixed up kid. :lol:
