Ruger MKII standard, Sig 228, SW 15-3. 120 rds .22lr, 50 rds 9mm, 50 rds .38 spl; the current "outing ration." Joe
I shot 20 rounds each through my four .44Spl revolvers at 7, 15 and 25yds. Missed the steel plates a couple of times at 25yds shooting off hand with my Cimarron Old Model SAA clone. Little bit of trouble on my part with the excessive humidity...I constantly had to sit down and take a break.

Hi...I hear ya. Back when I lived in the Southeast, by the time I hauled my steel down to the 200 yd berm and got back to the firing line, I was completely soaked and ready to go home. Now I live in the West and my club has their own steel so I no longer have to bring a towel to the range.
Tell me about it. When I was a young Marine the three mile runs, in heat and I hardly would break a sweat. Now a walk to the mailbox and I am drenched.Hi...
The club we shot at yesterday has steel plates at 50, 100, 150 and 200yds on the rifle range. My son insists on bringing his own steel plate target to shoot st 100yds. By the time, he carried it 100yds and walked back to the shooting benches he was drenched in sweat.
I stayed in the shooting pavilion and stayed relatively comfortable but the humidity caught up with me fairly quickly. Old age ain't as much fun as you might think, especially when you have health issues.
I have a No. 4 Mk 1. Not my most accurate milsurp but it is capable of 2 MOA with Greek surplus. I most enjoy shooting it rapid-fire at 200 yd steel.Test fired my "new" Enfield No. 4 Mk 2. Too windy to go to outdoor range, so shot inside at 25 yds. Good enough to see if rifle was making round holes in a consistent POI. Which it did. So looking forward to trying it out at 100 yds and beyond. Also shot my Beretta 84, well, just because needed some handgun practice, and it hadn't been shot in a while.
My Mk III* SMLE hits 6 in. high and 2 in. right at 100 yds. Now that I have another Enfield I'll have to run a ballistics chart for .303 and then compare the two rifles at distance. If you've got the No. 4 with the adjustable rear sight it looks to me like it goes down to 100 m. Or would the Brits be using yds on their sight markings? Not that it makes much difference at that yardage. Oh well, yet something else to check out. Half the fun of milsurps is being confused most of the time, hah!!I have a No. 4 Mk 1. Not my most accurate milsurp but it is capable of 2 MOA with Greek surplus. I most enjoy shooting it rapid-fire at 200 yd steel.
I put my first red dot sight on one of my 5.5” Mk IV uppers. It took me six shots to get the gun in the black at 20 yards, then it shot pretty well for me even in “range-friendly” rapid-fire.
Very impressive shooting.
You are going to love the Mark IV with the red dot. Good luck and good shooting.
