    The 124 Lees in question are easily scratched with a finger nail. I haven't tried them in the P-89 but have leading problems in a CZ-75 (pre-B). I'll probably load up some of the 124's tonight and...

    Savage 16 FSS first test, Wow!

    I wanted a sporter weight cast boolit rifle. Lee's 312-185R worked good in a 26" Win 94 30-30 so I decided on a bolt gun in .308. I wanted a Stevens 200 but found a Savage 16 FSS, it's a stainless...

    Good velocity for GC CB in 30-30?

    Today I shot two Lee 312-185R loads at 100 yards. The boolits used gas checks, Liquid Alox lube and were sized to .311.

    The rifle was a Winchester 30-30, 26" barrel with a Weaver K 2.5 scope.
