I've used Speer HotCors in a Martini and in a No 4 Mk 1. Stupid accurate.
I use Varget, 41 gr, OAL of 2.89". My last batch were with CCI BR-2's, but have also used WLR.
I've also used Berdan primed SA cases, pulled the FMJ, replaced the bullet with a Speer, silly accurate.
When I ran out of Hornady 150's, the only bullet I could find was the Speer, was pretty apprehensive given the 311 dia. I needed have been concerned, with no other change, just the bullet, groups went in half.
My only issue now is how to obtain a higher font sight for my SMLE sporter. It has a Sussex barrel, nearly LN. It shoots high, I need a taller front sight. It's a plastic piece, 15/32 dovetail. The ramp has 3/4" spacing on the holes. Totally weird.
