I was able to find a Rem 720 once as a kind soul had posted here that it was available at gunsamerica. Well, this isn't a 720 but I thought it might be of interest to someone here. It's an Eddystone which isn't necessarily the most desirable 1917 name but it's currently configured for 450 Watts which you don't see everyday. So far it's at $297 with two bids and 3+ days remaining.
it might be worth it for parts, it looks like they may have changed or maybe its just that they left off the factory base, to the Winchester pre-64 safari sight. plus, the only synthetic I know of for the Enfields is the MPI and they ain't cheap either. Hmmm..... at the price it is at, depending on the barrel, it might be a good parts gun if a person didn't want an eddystone.

Quote: The seller says to use 98 grains of IMR4230 with a 500 grain bullet, which is a solid 10-12 grains above max.
I don't think it is physically possible to fit that much powder in the case. I tried VV N-550, which is a dense powder in the Lott, but 92 grains was all I could under a 500 gr hornady sp, and it was a heavily compressed charge. Even with the .050" longer Watt's case, I'd venture to say that 98 gr would probably fill the case nearly to it's mouth.
