Hello
I recently started loading for yet another milsurp. This time it is 303 British in a No1 MkIII. I picked the Sierra 180gr Pro-Hunter. I wanted a good accurate bullet that could be loaded to mimic the performance of the military loading and still be used for hunting if needed.
I went to this 303 British site
http://www.303british.com/
and to my surprise there is some information saying that the Sierra 180gr bullet doesn't expand properly at speeds under 2500 fps. I haven't clocked any of my loads yet but I am pretty sure that they won't get to 2500 fps.
Anyone used this bullet for real from an Enfield or at a speed under 2500 fps on game?
Thanks
