Since I can't afford factory ammo for my .303 I'm looking into reloading. I'm leaning towards the lee loader (the one that you need a hammer for). I'm not going to be doing much shooting, but enough to justify the cost and time.
I'm trying to find a source for .312 fmj bullets or .311. I can't find them anywhere. I would like to try the 150 to 180 grain.
Can some recommend a good powder for medium loads (around 2500fps for the 150 and 2200 for the 180 or 174?
Also I've read about using the ak bullet, but that is .310. It might be ok if it had a hollow base, but I can't find any. Your comments.
I would appreciate ya'lls input as to a good powder as I want to keep this as simple as possible.
Any comments on the lee loader would also be appreciated.
The rifle is a no. 5 mk1 and the rifling and throat are in good shape.
