Lee Enfield Fan!

Hello, new to this forum. I love all things Lee enfield and am always eager to add anything .303 related to my collection.

Curious about reloading and am happy to learn more.

Dabble at a bit of deer stalking with my trusty Howa1500 in .308. Moved to the Waikato and don’t really know any good local spots.

Thanks for having me!

Hey there. Welcome! I have a soft spot for the old lee Enfields too. Great old guns and with NZ history attached to them.

Welcome. Do you reload at the moment, or are you thinking of starting?

Thinking at this stage, hoping to find out a bit more about it before I outlay for all the equipment!

Hi mate,
I'm just starting on my 303 journey, rebuilding a Mo1 Mk3* back to fully wooded.
All new to me!

Welcome to the site.

I have a 303-25 that I must use some time. Met a dogger that was using an old M17 in that calibre and original iron sights at that. They just keep getting better and better with age. Not many bits of machinery that old being used on a daily basis except firearms.

Anyway enjoy the banter.

Welcome aboard - I've got a Lee Enfield project on the go too - but mine is a bit heretic - it'll be cut down to 16" or a bit under. have a decent supressor and use 125gn projs at about 2400 fps. Quiet, handy, plenty of mag capacity and the means to deliver it quickly!
