Thread: 17" barrel SMLE powder

I use the Sierra 150 spire points in my no4. As an exercise I loaded some up with 308 flat base round nose 3030 bullets by changing the expander plug for a 308 one.
They shot acceptably well, certainly good enough to tip a couple of mobs of goats over some boat tailed ones were not so flash however. So now I use the Sierra 150 308s.
If you are lucky enough to have a tight bore 303 you may be able to use 308 projectiles and that gives you hundreds of different options.
