    Hangfires are nasty things.

    I experienced more than a couple when I was shooting a lot of .303 MkVII Ball through Lee Enfields - fortunately following the 30 second Rule no doubt saved my pretty face.

    Certainly told you what .303 Ball to stay away from - anything made by Pakistani Ordnance Factory (poorly stored during Service led to primer decay), anything made by Radway Green prior to 1950 (just poor quality), and some Aussie WW2 years/makers.
    In longrange riflery, trajectory is the pure science part. Gravity is a constant for our purposes.
    Wind is in the art department.
    Light is pure fucking voodoo.
