Glad you can own SMLE's - it would be great shame if you couldn't own your own country's former battle rifle. My collection ranges from a 1902 No.1 MkI** to a 1965 Ishipure .308. I've got two No.4's - a MkI and MkII. I think I've got 8 all together and I really like shooting them. I have a cast bullet load that is the most accurate - is a 200 grain gas check Lyman .314" bullet that I lube with Lee liquid alox (linotype) that I load to full pressure getting around 2000 fps. It shoots into 2" at 100 yards. It outshoots all jacketed loads - I think because of the diameter and length of the bullet.
