Howdy,
my friends and I all have trouble with repriming S&B 9mm.
Sometimes you get a batch that is easy, but mostly the primer holes are tough.

I've used my RCBS primer swage tool to open them...

Scout,
my load with a Lee one ounce slug for reduced recoil is: AA hull, 20gn Green Dot & Win. pink wad. Certainly milder than any factory slug. Don't know if it would cycle an auto. I use them in...

waco,
6.2gn is listed as maximum for a 240gn lead projectile in .44 Magnum in our Factory load data.

Hodgdon Clays is our Aussie AS30N. Very similar to Red Dot in burn rate.
...

RJ,
Hodgdon International Clays is our Aussie AS50N, with a burn rate similar to 700X, AA5 and Green Dot.
AS50N is the same as AP50N - just a bit bulkier for shotshell reloading.
It's considered...

Mike,
I reloaded for my Steyr carbine the other day with loads using the Lee cast projectile, Lee Alox and a 32 gas check.

The often quoted 17.5gn of 2400 was a dissapointment, with quite a lot...

Guys,
for years I used .220 Swift brass in my T38 rifle and carbine and it worked great, though labour intensive. Norma brass is always undersized for some reason.
NNY 6.5 Jap brass is great.
My...

I'm in Adelaide, South Australia.

Actually driving down to Impact, Mt Gambier for an IPSC match next weekend !

Kirby.

Bill,
you sure that's a No.4 Mk1 ? as Lithgow only made SMLE No1Mk3's.

Can you tell us of the markings on the butt socket ?

Kirby.

Stanley,
I used the Lee bullet for my Walther PP .380. Works great.
You won't need hard cast if you use Lee Alox lube with the .380.

Just found the mould in the shed the other day !

Kirby.

Congratulations Mike,
you have a "Savage" Rifle No. 4Mk.1 - a fine battle rifle.
Two groove rifling is original to Savage built rifles.

Enjoy !

Thutty,
sorry, the name doesn't ring a bell.

The name on the badge threw me. The Golden Grove range is 10 minutes from where I live ! I never seem to get to the Lever Action matches.

Next...

Well,
that's where I live but I don't recognise the badge.
I'll do some investigation work and get back to you.

Kirby.

Hornady definately took over Bair.

I have a little Honey Bair 12G. loader and use Hornady bushings.

Hi SSB,
congratulations on buying the finest of the Military Surplus rifles in existance !

My K31 was purchased many years ago here in Australia, before a small amount were imported by a...

Mick,
does the bolthead display the Lithgow proof marks ?

I also had a Rifle No 4 converted on the Sterling pattern. It was a very reliable rifle. My understanding of the 7.62 conversions was...

Guys,
I'm lucky & lazy.
My Enfield shoots 4" groups @ 25 yds with a .357 diameter 158gn lrn.
Average 600fps.

Adequate for my needs.
You may want to just go out and try some in yours.

Kirby.

Hi Buck !
your rifle sounds beautiful. Pity we can't get the same here.
Still, I'm happy with my blued .44 Rossi 20" and my wife loves her .357 Rossi 16".
I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with...

Wow,
thanks for all the great advice fellas.
I'm not sure .30/30 in BP is really worth it.

I do have a Rossi '92 in .44 Magnum. Being a straight sided case - will it be a bit messy ?
Perhaps...

Hi fellas,
this may sound dumb, but what grade of Black Powder would you recomend for .30/30 loads ?

At the moment I only have FFF G for my M/L.

Any special requirements - load data for...

Bernie,
cancel that order direct with Lee.
I now buy all my Lee products from Western Firearms in NSW. Ph 02 9570 4794
Excellent prices and very fast shipping 2-3 days.
Mine cost me $25 Dingo...

Thanks for the interest and replies fellas.

I'll search as Pat suggests.

Masking tape is masking tape Down Under too - :)

Kirby.

Hi,
has anyone used plumbers tape instead of patching paper with any success ?
Any limitation on how thick you can go with paper or plastic ?

TIA

Kirby

Don't shoot, I'm a new guy !

Hi fella's,
I just purchased a Winchester '92 in .32/20 as well.
It has a replacement barrel by Sportco (Locally made in the '60's).
The action is nice and tight....
