Hello from Sussex

#1 Post by targetshooter »

Hello my name is Alan and I have been shooting for quite some time in various disciplines from Clays, HFT air rifle, small bore bench rest, gallery shooting including black powder and full bore target shooting. I have a keen interest in historic rifles and I own and shoot a Lee Enfield SMLE .22RF Pattern 1914 trainer which had it’s origins as a 1899 Long Lee MK1* then converted in 1905 to a SHT LE Cond 11 and then converted to a .22 PATT ‘14’, a 1910 Swedish Mauser in original military form and regularly shoot a 1980’s? 7.62 Parker Hale 1200TX. My main range is at Bisley where I shoot at various distances about twice a month. During the past two years I’ve been developing reloads to achieve both accuracy and availability of suitable ammo for my rifles.
It would be useful to share knowledge and experiences with other members in the shooting community.
