Murf makes a valid point. Several other things to consider....
Rifle weight - I know the #1 MkIII isn't the lightest (I've got a friend's and I am familiar with it's weight) but if the '06 was a heavy rifle that would make a difference.
Bullet weight - again, if you're shooting 180 gr pills out of the .303, and light stuff out of the '06, that will make a difference.
Jon,
Congrats, sounds like a great rifle. Not very fond of the trigger on my friend's but it sounds like yours ain't bad... Which for a military rifle from that era is a bit astounding. The one I'm playing with is a 1916 Lithgow.
