My understanding is the Lee Enfield is typicaly a 2-3moa rifle, is this accurate enough for service rifle?

If you want to shoot in service class, you can't use match projectiles. 174gr fmj is the ideal, but the 174gr RN is acceptable according to the rules.

With 174gr RN handloads, my 1942 long branch will shoot into 2 MOA with iron sights. I suspect it could do a smidge better, but I'm the limiting factor.
