Thanks for your input guys, appreciate it.:)
Anyone got any comments / observations regarding the use of a Turret Press v an 'O' frame in re-loading .303", 8x60s and 7mm-08Rem
I understand that kapok is used to 'pad out' a case with a load that is leaving a gap between powder and bullet. I am looking to start casting my own .303 bullets for a No: 4 Enfield and i was...

I have just been given these along with some lead for casting my .457 balls. Anyone have any comments / info that would be of interest? I am sure that I have titled the first 2 correctly but the rest...
Can anyone tell me when the first Blank Ammo was made/used. I am talking cartridges here not front stuffers!
Ah yes. I bought the 2 CD's whan I saw that they were 'closing down' because of problems. They are excellent CD's and worth every cent.
I did make some progress yesterday at the club. I was...
I do read French but not that well. I am lucky because there is a member of our club in Blaye that speaks good English. The deal is that I correct his English and he laughs at my French :)

I will soon be taking delivery of a Mosin-Nagant Model 1891/30 in a caliber of 30-284W.
