I am very fond of this rifle.

From an age when Britain took pride in its manufacturing abilities.

Yet another nice peice well done, do these shoot better with the mk6 bullet or can you use the prvi stuff ?

I got a slot for a 303, had the chance to get an Irish Republic one at Bisely (My other half is from county Galway) Regretted not buying it !!!

Generally speaking .303"s respond better to flatbase bullets. All mine shoot flat base well only a couple shoot as well with boat tails.

I see, so spend more money on ammo you tend to get better groups, typical , why cant it be the other way ?

Long long ago when fairies dwelt in the land, there was gnomes at the bottom of the garden and I was young and daft on shooting I was told by many good shots to buy the best rifle you can afford and the most expensive ammunition there is.

This was mainly in relation to miniature rifle shooting, .22" RF. but the essence holds true for all ammunition.
