Reloading .303 British : FMJBT Bullets for reloading 303

Bisley targets for full bore rifle differ from yours so let me try and explain them.

Scoring for NRA Target Rifle:

V Bull (centre of bull used for tie breaks) = 5.1

Bull = 5

Inner = 4

Magpie = 3

Outer = 2

The target rings vary in size dependent on distance.

Now the confusing bit; the NRA (UK) along with the HBSA (Historical Breech Loading Small arms Association) introduced new targets in 2016 for historic competitions which are the same as those used back in 1971 after the changeover to 7.62mm from .303. 

Both round bull and tin hat have the same size scoring rings.

The shoot I refer to was shot on an HBSA/NRA Tin Hat target at 600 yards and the scoring ring sizes are:

V Bull = 10" (7.8")

Bull = 15" (13")

Inner = 36" (26")

Magpie = 48" (39")

Outer = 72"   (52")

The inches in brackets show the size of the modern Bisley Target Rifle face used at 600 yards for comparison. 

HBSA/NRA targets are generous in size and well suited to give the historic shooter a decent score using an older rifle like an SMLE.
