    lee enfield #5 mk1

    Buy a couple boxes of commercial. Shoot them to get a feel for your rifle and how it handles. Then get a Lee Loader which using the dies will only neck size the brass and using the scoop and suggested powders will keep the pressure down. This will give you the best chance to keep your brass...

    Newbie Reloader- wanting 1000fps 45 colt.

    Google BearTooth Bullets. A lot of info on the 45 Colt and getting the most out of it. A lot of good technical information.

    Question for those familiar with Red Dot

    For the many 45 Colt loads and the few 9mm I used a Lee scoop (modified for the 9mm) into a balance and then trickled. Slow but safe.

    RCBS is Awesome

    A couple of weeks ago I started a thread regarding my old 10-10 which was not zeroing correctly and then when finally zeroed it would not measure accurately or with precision. This was after all of the cleaning, etc. I received a lot of greatsuggestions from RCModel sas well as others but in...

    My RCBS 10-10 scales is not reading accurately

    That was an interesting thought but nothing attached to the magnets. I am going to box it up and send it in.:o

    My RCBS 10-10 scales is not reading accurately

    Well, I did put things back together and it zeroed better. I thought the problem was solved but I continue to get poor precision on the readings. I contacted RCBS and am going to send it in for repair and recalibration.

    My RCBS 10-10 scales is not reading accurately

    I will do the cleaning tomorrow and update. I can replace the Lead BB with the #8 shot if needed. The cleaning of the V and edges are probably the issue as the balance seem a little insensitive and that would explain it. The magnetic damper seems fine. I downloaded the instructions from RCBS...

    My RCBS 10-10 scales is not reading accurately

    I picked up a used 10-10 a couple of weeks ago and have just set it up. I leveled it and it initially wouldn't zero regardless of level adjustment. I removed one of the larger lead BB's and added back 2 and a fraction of #8 lead shot to get it to zero after a slight level adjustment.. I...

    6.5x55 reloading

    I used a Lee Loader for a couple of years for my Swede Mauser. Worked great as long as the brass was from the rifle I was reloading for. I used IMR4350. I sold the rifle (way to cheaply) to my nephew as he wanted start deer hunting. Hey, I kept the rifle in the family. Along with the rifle...

    Lee 6 cavity mold

    I really like TL356-124-TC cast with wheel weights, dropped in water, tumble lubed and sized.

    cartridges for 1903 M96 6.5 x 55 Mauser

    A few years ago I loaded up some Hornady Interlock using IMR 4350 at a level between min and max. I later gave my Mauser to my Nephew. He dropped a deer at a little over 120 yards. I don't believe it ever moved more than a step or two. Very accurate round.

    Lee Loader Priming Can Hurt

    It took me awhile but I finally realized I was popping primers on the military brass that didn't have the crimp removed. This was many years ago, but when I realized the issue and started removing crimps I never had another POP.

    C-H Taper Crimp Die for 38 Special

    I have started reloading for 38 special, and part of my repertoire is a taper crimp die that came with a 38/357 die set from an estate sell. The set included a Lee Full Length Sizing die; a Lee Powder Through Expanding Die; and RCBS Bullet Seating Die with various seaters; and a C-H Taper...

    100 grain rnfp .356 for Ruger LCR 38 Special

    I bought my daughter a LCR 38 Special. I am wanting to prepare some light loads for initial practice and have on hand 250 of cast .356 RNFP @ 100 grain. Understanding these are for a .380 auto and that 38 special is at .357 will the .356 be adequate for use? Thanks, Vacek

    Lee Loader and the 30-06 Springfield

    I have many different sets and have used them for years. For basic reloading they are really worthwhile. I don't have any problem with the priming system unless I am trying to prime a brass that was military and the crimp wasn't removed. Other than that, a piece of cake and very accurate. Go...

    Never know what you will find

    I have quite a few of these. I didn't realize that they were not that well known. As I understand it, the cordite was placed into the case then the neck was formed.
