It will depend on the barrel and throat. Lots of stories out there but I tend listren to some of the people I have met and talked to over the years. I have several rifles with new barrels that shoot boat tails fine at all ranges but also some that will only shoot flat base well. I will let someone else explain receiver whip for you. Ask Pete Laidler or Nigel Greenaway who explained it to me. Ask muffet he has an opinion opposite theirs with a lot of interesting pictures. Read their notes and articles. I'm am no expert but I listen well and they have never been far off the mark. I did notice that on some #4Ts accuracy would tighten up past 350 yards and hold hard through 600 yards. There are good notes on this in Capt.Laidlers books and they are a good read. Remember never say never when talking Enfields.
Back to the beach.
