Hi Gents,

Well as promised I took this old girl to the range and wanted to let you all know how I got on.

Shooting this vintage .303 took me right back to my teens in the ACF. The distinct and formidable 'boom' of the .303 brought back many good memories and I can't wait for my next outing.

The rifle ran flawlessly, a real joy to shoot. The action was smooth and positive and as good as the day it was made a century ago. The single stage trigger was a little heavy but also positive and crisp, so with a little time to acclimate I had no problem.

As one would expect my local gun shops were not brimming with .303 but I was able to find a few boxes and two type; The first was Sellier & Bellot Soft Point 9.7g 150 grs, the other was PPU FMJ 11.3g 174 grs. The latter was terrible, the rifle didn't like it at all and it seemed like every shot was a flyer. However the Sellier & Bellot was a totally different story as it was accurate and consistent and I was thrilled to put up a five shot fifty yard group in less than one inch and I'm only an average shot!

I loved shooting this rifle and will certainly plan to take the old girl out again before too long.

See link below for a few photos from this mornings range trip.

Cheers, Roy.
