New member here with an invite from @Shamu, who I met at a camping function from another forum back in 2008.  I have a No. 4 Mk 1* that I personally think has a pretty rough barrel.  I slugged it today and it measured 0.315" across the rifling (two groove barrel).  I have some factory ammo that I'll try through to see what kind of accuracy I get (or don't).  I'm just starting into reloading, but this rifle may necessitate reloading for it to get any accuracy.  We'll see.

Thanks for the forum and the info I've found so far.  Looking forward to finding out more about these rifles and their quirks.

SW Michigan.  That is a zip code.

I posted on the files for you in the thread there. I have a bunch of PPU .312" 180 gr RN/SP if you need a couple of handfuls to check how they run, without having to buy 100,  let me know & I'll mail them to you.

I knew it was a zip code. But that doesn't tell members what area your in. That becomes helpful when conversing with other members-especially when it comes to sharing parts, meeting up & things of that nature.
But if you don't want anyone to know where you are - it's your choice.

I didn't realize that is where the location under the avatar came from.  I updated it as soon as I saw your post asking about it.

Thanks all.

I've been reading a lot the last few days.  I'm going to get a borescope with mirror (or at least a set of mirrors for the camera I have) on the way so I can see what is really going on there.  My slug fell out at the 18 inch mark so I don't have a lot of hope for it to be a shooter.
