Perhaps I'm horsefaced, Pinky, but there's just not enough drop to the Enfield style stock for my eye to align front and rear sights before my cheekbone bottoms out on the comb, regardless of how the piece is held. I have to cock my head so my cheekbone i...

You can't get moulds and such from Coyote any more. Check and see what Lee and CBE have available in comparable moulds. I would stay clear of Trail Boss and duplex loads in the .577 Snider. -Ryan
