I'll add my 2 cents worth. About any lead boolit and 8 to 10 grains of Unique. It's the universal 30 caliber load, works in just about any 30 cal rifle. 30-30, 308, 303 Sav, etc. Nice plinker...

I just disassembled 35 live rounds this past weekend, including removing the live primers, on a Lee press. When I was done resizing the brass (one should check this first, really) I then re-primed...

Tennis racket tape. Trust me.

Completely off topic, sort of.

My wife came home from a yard sale with her very own hand cranked pencil sharpener! She was very proud. (On the bottom it said, "Zebco")

Never used the original, but I have the XR and haven't experienced any of the problems listed. You do have to keep it tilted, but I'm not sure how you would hold it WITHOUT a tilt to it. It works...

Very nice, Coaldust!

Luna, you're gonna need a lot of them wheel weights! That's how my son learned to shoot, and we kept loading the same 20 cases over and over. I say "we" but he was doing the shooting and I was...

8 grains of Unique.

Thanks, dunkel! It's enjoyable being able to make something useful like that. It ain't purdy, but it works! Maybe one of these days I'll sand them all down and make them look nice. All those...

The metal sizer tube is an old Ideal (I think) piece. The rest of the stuff I made and use for loading black powder shotgun shells. The dippers are wood - just drilled out a small piece of dowel,...

You mean hand-made tools like this?25887

The powder is faster, but that doesn't mean the bullet is travelling faster. Faster powder like FFF on a heavy bullet is akin to punching a bowling ball to get it moving. A nice long, slow wind-up...

Thanks, NickSS. That's exactly the info I wanted to know.

I'm using Bore Butter in the shotgun I use for BP shells, and CLP in my other shotgun that use for smokeless rounds. I mistakenly called this "lube" in the barrel, while in fact it's - oh , I don't...

No guys, it's a modern shotgun. I'm talking about black powder, smokeless powder, petroleum lube and non-petroleum lube. Guess I wasn't clear in my question.

Black powder + petroleum lube =...

I know that guns need to be de-petroled and set up with organic grease to shoot black powder, or you end up with a tarry mess. Now I've got a nice double-barrel shotgun all set up for black powder...

JB Weld works great for that. Two or three applications work best because it will shrink down some as it cures. When you're done, it will look like it was made like that.

Also, you can go see Rick. I've done business with him. He's fair and knows his business.

Yup, that's it. Thanks for the address, I'll see what I can shake up.

Anyone know where to get an old manual Powely Computer? Or a PDF file that a person could use to make one?

So, to get this all straight, you haven't talked to Midway and you haven't talked to Lee - is this like a preliminary gripe to sort of soften them up or something? Let us know how that works out.

Seems like somebody mentioned something once about supergluing small disks on the bottom of lead bullets. Instead of a cup around the bottom just a disk covering the bottom. I could also be...

Beautiful! That really does look great! I did finally (duh) figure out that if I put in one of the little primer widgets, it forced the spent primers down into the base where they belong. Before...

Rem, if you haven't gotten anything yet, Lee does make regular dies for the 303 Savage. You'll eventually need to full-length resize that brass anyway, so getting those and either a small press or...

Rem, I'm in the same boat as you, and the quick answer is "no", it won't work. The 303 is slightly fatter than the 30-30. You could bore it out, but ...

On the other hand... there's a way around...
