A friend of mine has just finished rebuilding his 1943 Bren and is going broke buying ammo for it! I suggested that he could save quite a bit by reloading.
This isn't a caliber I'm familiar...

I see how it is. :-D Should'a done that from the very start!

Ok, I now have 25 posts and 30+days, AND I have contributed to the well-being of the forum, AND I have accepted the mid-stream change of policy. How do I go about getting the restrictions lifted?

mktacop, I've seen OK deals at about 15% discount off of Dillon's prices, good deals at 25% discount, and screamin' deals at 50% discount. You have to factor in the fact that a new press can be had...

Interestingly enough, I stumbled on a used set of 30-40 Krag dies on another forum yesterday and snapped them up quickly. I thought they'd be harder to find than they were. Or perhaps I just got...

Has anyone found a source for 30-40 Krag brass? My father has been trying to buy unfired 30-40 Krag but it appears to be rather hard to find! I'm hoping to buy him some brass as a late Christmas...

Seriously considering one of the Dawg's tumblers.
How big of an issue is draining the contaminated water into a septic system?

How did you test the areas? Is there a consumer lead kit that can be used to swap surfaces?

Why thank you! I'm drinking from the firehose here as I'm trying to get up to speed.
