Back on the range with my Enfield

[TheWall]

I was able to get back to the range this morning with my Armi Sport 2-band Enfield rifle. I shot 23 shots all at 25 yards and all off-hand.

Based on some suggestions from David Minshall, I shot all the shots using 68 grains of Goex FFG. I used a .575 minie ball greased in the grooves with Navy Arms shotgun sealer (the stuff does not melt like Bore Butter -- and it was close to 100 degrees out there today).

Results were much better than in the past (see pic below).

I only had to swab the bore once -- after 11 shots. I am happy with this load. Next time I will try it at 50 yards and 100 yards.

That looks "minute of deer". Imagine if you shot from a rest.

Bench rest please to give us a more accurate idea of the rifle's potential.

Looks minute of deer or human to me!!

Very nice, great looking rifle also. I'm not sure my .58 cal Zouve can do that..
