Newf - Like-wise in the Southern colonies (just joking), I still have my fathers Lee Enfield (a sporterised No1 Mk III)and hunt with it occasionally, as do my sons. Despite the corrosive ammo it mostly digested it is still in fine condition and many years ago I used it to win a hunter class match - it happened to be shot in abominable weather that played into the hands of the 174 grain ball, basically the 222 and 243 guys were struggling to keep their projectiles on the targets. At that time it was scoped but it is now "original" again
In my fathers hands it accounted for many many hundreds of head, mainly wild pigs, which at time threatened to "overun" our farm, but also deer and goats. I say this with a degree of caution less it be mis-understood, but most of his game was shot with military ball, as a tool for culling, as opposed to "taking game".
Cheers
