I've had 3 Enfields (a Savage, a BSA, an Ishapore) for the past few years and normally just shoot them to hear a loud bang. Recently, however, I have been neck-sizing fire formed cases and getting the headspace nice and tight so that my reloads will be more accurate. With the Savage, my current load of 36g 2460/ Win Mag Rifle primers/ 180 Speer bullets can shoot 2-3" groups at 50 yards. Can this rifle do any better? The bore is in excellent shape but I'm trying to figure out if there is anything that can be done to tighten it up, besides playing with the load a little more.
