I took my Enfield to the range today to shoot it for only the second time. I had said before the only place I could find ammo for this rifle was at a gun shop that sold 20 rounds for $20.
I stopped by a new place the other day to check it out. When I asked the guy if he had any .303 ammo he brought some out for me to see. It was in old cardboard boxes, 10 to a box, each with a group of 5 rounds in a stripper clip I'd never seen before. He only wanted $2 a box so I bought 50 rounds.
Well, at the range today I got all ready to shoot the Enfield and loaded up the ammo. The first round didn't go off. I waited a few seconds then pulled the bolt back and chambered the next round. I looked at the end of the one that didn't fire and it looked like it got a good hit, it just didn't go off. I laid it over to the side and got ready to try again. Every round after that went off but after the "click" of me pulling the trigger there'd be a half second hesitation and then the round fired!?
Needless to say, those groups sucked. I only fired the 5 I had in there and put the rest up. What do you guys think? I've got 45 rounds of this stuff and don't know what to do with it.
