Enfield Revolvers

I have 3 Webleys (they all shoot very well) and a Victory (also shoots well. Had an Enfield and was not amused, so sold it.

I just loaded 1000 rounds of 38 ammo, so expect to shoot them some more.
 
I have a 1940 Enfield with C broad arrow marks on frame and barrel. It also has the initials LHB very lightly scratched on the side of the frame. One of the wood grips was sanded down to allow better access to the latch.

Apparently, Canada received 1 000 of them in 1940 but the Brits quickly realized they needed them themselves. Then the Canadians settled the S&W Hand Ejector in 38 S&W which they had previously used in WW1 in a different caliber. Granted, it's a very nice revolver.

I loaded some years ago after I had got the gun, .362 200gr lead bullets. I used some "questionable" bullseye powder i got in repacked containers. I want to say 2.5 or 3 grains, I can't recall, I may have it written down. The loads felt very stout to me and I didn't have a chronograph at the time. I was going to add the 4lbs of bullseye to the burn pile and just buy new stuff, but given the current powder situation and now having a Chrono innay revisit it. It may just be how that gun feels to shoot.
 
I have one, I adore it 1930 dated no letter prefix wood grips sits in the safe mostly now. Have a bunch of ammo for it but with two young girls no real time to take it out had it for as long as I’ve been buying firearms was my first revolver
