I love my Lee classic cast turret press. It is an excellent auto-indexing turret press. You can also remove the indexing rod (takes 2 seconds) and it becomes a very handy 4 station single stage press that you can rotate by hand. For the price, you cant beat the usefulness of this press...

How would BL-(C)2 work for this rifle?

Could there be a burr in the chamber?

I use BL-C(2) with 150 gr bullets and my FAL loves them. I use the starting load and I get consistent 2700 fps velocity and they cycle perfectly. I did buy a pound of Ramshot TAC the other day and am hoping to try it soon.

Im a rookie weekend loader, still very much in learning mode. I decided to start reloading after collecting military surplus rifles for about 2 years. Now I do it to extend my ammo budget, and because I enjoy it. I decided to buy the Lee classic cast turret press instead of the Challenger...

I was thinking that maybe one of those hammered or textured paints might look cool on that press...

If anyone knows of a source for x25 brass, pleasseeee share :D

Reloading is very simple. All you need to do is buy a good manual and sit down and READ it carefully. This isnt rocket science, but there are a few details that need your FULL attention. If you arent willing to take the time to sit down and read one of the good manuals or if you are going to...

If you can find a place that has electronic paint matching, you could have them duplicate the factory color and maybe the mods here could make a sticky listing all the colors and what to order at the paint stores..

Have you tried any factory ammo to see if the groups improve?

What kind of wood do they use for butcher chopping blocks? Like the type that hangs out in front of the grills at the Waffle Houses...

I think I would stick with the brand that made your press. That way you know they will work correctly, especially for the newbies like me.

It was definately not first quality ammo, but it was priced right and it did shoot. The cases were cheap, and the OAL's were all over the place, like they were done by hand. Very sloppy.

I bought a few cans of that Indian .308 that was buried in the ground for years supposedly on the Pakistan border. It was a standard US ammo can. The cans were kinda cruddy, but when I opened them, the insides were perfect. No leaks or stains.

Its interesting to note that the soviet block 7.62x39 with the green lacquer cases (I have some 8mm mauser like this too..) all have that red sealant around the crimp and the primer...
