.303 accuracy improvement

Hi, isn't this a huge jump? To the lands

Andrew Leigh and DaleSH have both proven that you can get groups with massive jumps (I think Dale's 9.3 has a 6mm jump).

Morning guys and gals, I have a no1 mk 3 .303 sporterised, that I have had for a good 15 years already, and would like to know if there are ways and means within a normal persons ability to make it more accurate and reliable. I have free floated the barrel as the front sling screw was pressing against the underside of the barrel as well as the barrel touching the stock at odd intervals.

I also had the No1 Mk3. I had my barrel bedded. With hand loaded ammo, I could get 25mm or less @ 100m (rifle was scoped). My gunsmith told me that the thin barrel of the Lee Enfield likes to have some upward pressure. It certainly worked on my rifle. He also removed the first stage of the trigger pull, made a big difference, so there is no need to buy an aftermarket trigger.

On my No 1 MK III the barrel is also bedded and I re cut the crown, shoots like a dream with hand loads and even mill ammo. With the mill ammo I sometimes get two shots thru the same hole if I do my part

You find people that laugh at the old Majuba kettie, until you start walking up to the targets and then...... Silence!

My Majuba kettie is 101 years old this year and she still brings home the biltong

I assume you kill with bayonet

My 303 can be tested if you like I reload and got rid of the woodwork. Accuracy acceptable to group well depends on shooter ability mostly. Build by Savage about 1940 odd.

Love the old girl and she can if I do my part. COL critical next to slugging the barrel. S335 powder.

The barrel on my Enfield have not really seen much work since it was replaced. But did have a bit of copper fouling that I removed with Hoppe's Copper solvent. Just need to get back to the range with better ammo to see what I can do with it.
