I did. And once I was done, I had lots of fresh brass with which I started to reload.

Yes. Bullet weight is different, so sighting might be off.

commercial 38S&W is VERY anemic, no worries with the enfield which is about the strongest hinged revolver out there.

 

[Ritchie]

I only have experience with Remington 38S&W. As hitzy said, they are not exactly "HIGHPOWER"

In fact, many who have watched me shoot, have seen the slug traveling downrange. (I though it was wadding I was seeing)

thanks just checking

shot a few boxes out of my enfields to get enough brass for reloading

Both the original .380 round and the .38S&W round are equally pathetic.

Comment from a Canadian pilot who was ordered to turn in his 1911 and draw the enfield revolver. "The only thing I could be absolutely sure of hitting with it was the floor!" Of course he was NOt referring to the Colt!

I have seen a few pilots shoot .........and I would doubt the floor

I sure would be reluctant to give up a 1911 for an Enfield, but my little RCAF .38 will put the hole where I wanted it, 25 yards that way...maybe the RCAF stamp helps!!! Power wise they are not magnums, but you don't gotta blow his head off, just put a hole in it,, ball games are won not by home runs but bye base hits!!!
