You'll find discussions on bullets for the Lee Enfield will break down into two groups: A) those who eschew all but flat, open based bullets that oburate upon firing and supposedly are the most accurate and B) those who are willing to try any style of bullet in the quest for a modern, available bullet that is as accurate or more so than the original. I fall firmly into group B and have gotten excellent accuracy in my various Lee Enfields from Hornady 150gr. SST, 150gr. LeHigh copper solids, and 174gr. Sierra Match Kings. I avoid being an absolutist as I find it limits my opportunities to explore the greatest possible accuracy in my rifles. Having said that, I plink with bullets I've pulled from surplus 7.65X53 Arg. and various weights of Prvi Partisan for fun and to fireform cases for the rifle, I just don't expect maximum accuracy from them.
