These are the shot placements/groups I got at 100 yards, aiming at 6 o’clock on the target. The first is using PPU Matchline and the second is using Sellier and Bellot FMJ. I fired from a sitting position using a rest, but I am not the best shot in the world so I think the rifle groups well. I think I’m going to use S&B exclusively because it’s cheaper and performed better. I was wondering if, given the consistent shot placement to the left, I should attempt to adjust the front sight?

It’s far more accurate than I’m capable of shooting. The action is smooth, the trigger is crisp if a bit heavy.

If the British had been armed with the P1853 Enfield rifle, could Elphinstone’s column have made it from Kabul to the British garrison at Jalalabad? One of their big problems was that they were completely outranged by Afghan’s shooting Jezails from on high. Would the fast loading rifle musket have made an impact as it did during the Sepoy Mutiny, or were they cooked regardless?
