I hope this is the correct forum for this post. I'm an old boy, been reloading for a long time, but learn new stuff regularly.

Lately, I'm into brass forming, loading and shooting some of the old stuff, 11 mm Mauser, 43 Argentine and the like.

I got this link from Toney, I think I'm going to like it here!

Howdy Mosko!

I do a lot of reforming, too. Usually on Saturday morning, and sometimes on Sunday morning as well.:mrgreen:

Actually, I'm pretty much able to get "factory" brass for the calibers I'm loading. Used to reform for 32 Spl and 25-35, but then I bought a 30-30 and don't need the potential for confusion.

If I were to find one of the Rolling Blocks in .43, I probably would be into the reform process to feed it.

Ah yes, the rolling blocks. They have been made is so many calibers, for as many countries. I find it very enjoyable to work with them. The good thing is that you can't shoot a truck load of ammo if you try at one sitting. I find that with a good handload, some very impressive groups can be attained. I guess "quality shots" best explains it more than "quantity shots".

Ask Jr. about them rollers. He has one on a sporter action built up for long range in 38/55, lucky little bugger. We shot a match at Buffalo Gap ND and he made me look ah well less experianced than himself and he's 12 and I am 50, lucky little bugger. He cleaned the 600 yard target and I skunked it. He went 4 for 8 at the 800 yard in a stiff cross wind and I managed to tie him on that one. I thought I was handicapping him by calling a couple extra points on his settings but he was still smacking that 800 yard distant steel buffalo, lucky little bugger.
Think I will load his match ammo next time, HA! Like ta see the lucky little bugger hit it now!!!

Part that hurts is I shoot for a living ! But he dose most of his shooting at the range ! needless to say other members don't (choose not to) see the big picture !:mrgreen: May I suggest a 10oz Ball pane hammer applied to his trigger finger at great verlosity ?????
