Looking for a do it all load suggestion

Two rifles I’ll be getting are a No1Mk3 and a No4Mk1 I’ll see what ever one groups the best with what ever and use it as a surplus hunting rifle

Took my first deer with a Savage-made No. 4 MK I using I believe PRVI 174gr SPs, DRT. I'd suggest the No. 4 over the No. 1 simply because of the sights.

No.4 Mk 1 is best Enfield for sure.

Prefer a Pattern 1914 over any of the SMLEs for accuracy. Hopefully I'll be reloading .303 next year when I get home. Got couple 100s of pulled 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R 123/150/175 gr .310/.311" bullets.

Neck loading for each individual rifle is your friend.

I shot my first deer with a sporterized SMLE with a 180grn Remington Corelokt factory load. Spine shot DRT. Didn't even twitch. In retrospect it was a fortunate shot, but the bullet did the job.
