I have a few SMLE Enfields and have shot them a bunch. Mostly surplus ammo, but one of them proved accurate with Remington Core Lokts so I have hunted with it before. Why you ask? What rifle?

Yes, L-E #4. Shot my first elk here in Idaho with it in 1978. Good accurate shooter with 180 gr Rem Core-Loks

I've got a 1918 that's a pretty good shooter.

I shoot one as well. Ive got a few loads worked up for it but have yet to fine tune anything. Running the 174gr sierras and 180gr Sierras. 174gr seems to shoot the best.

I don't shoot my No.1 very often, but may take up the .303 more frequently when I find one of these.
