What a fool I am !! - "raising cane" of course.... and I could identify the other parts at this very nice link (thanks to Nichollsst55's advice.) : http://home.comcast.net/~ehorton/Enfield_parts_list.pdf. and that : Jim Sweets “Competitive Rifle Shooting” is a must read for beginners in our...

Headspace OK, reloads OK, it is definitely a progressive thing as the barrel heats up. You both confirm my suspicion on the bedding and those two sites on 303's are excellent - a lot of material to work through for this newbie amateur gunsmith but I'm going to do it. I'll publish my results...

I recently inherited a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 from my father. It was a gun he used in Bisley shooting between 1958 and 1970. The rifle was not fired in the last 35 odd years (before it came to me) but kept fairly well oiled. I now use it for shooting at a club where we are only allowed to shoot...

I guess part of my problem is the particular lube that I'm using - it is extremely viscous. What are the pros and cons of the spray-on lubes ?

What is the alternative to tumbling in getting rid of the resizing lube ? Rubbing it off with a soft cloth works but it is a tiring job. I use RCBS resizing lube.

I don't think he tried to get into the house - from the photographs he was just at the house. The house is probably in his domain and he has probably been there a couple a times when you were not looking. He probably knows more about you than you would be comfortable with - he probably knows...

The shell holder is pushed flush with the die when resizing - lower adjustment is not possible because the whole cartridge is inside the die at the end of the resizing stroke. I've only measured brass length so far and visualy checked seating depth. I'll try to measure the diameters on the...

I am experiencing a problem with reloading for my 7x64 (a fairly new aquisition) in that all my reloaded ammo needs an extra downward pressure on the rifle bolt lever when chambering each round. When chambering a round the bolt moves forward sliding the cartridge out of the magazine into the...
