Exactly what I use at the shorter ranges, 100 & 200 yards. I have a permanently damaged right shoulder so recoil is an important factor.
When shooting my Envoy (7.62mm) at longer ranges the extra weight of the rifle helps me use hotter loads.
I have used 140gns gas checked lead with 10gns of Red Dot at 100 yards in my SMLE and my No.4 but it is only marginally better than staying at home and watching day time TV.
