Since you have your 310 set, an old Lyman or Ideal manual would be a nice complement to a new manual. Those from when 310s were more common have good section on them.

Handloading and casting being such useful and rare knowledge and skill sets it would be abandoning a big comparative advantage to go without any tools with which to exploit it.

Nice work and rifle.
All of the 35s are easy to like, and the WCF is one that deserves far more interest.
Yes, in rifle rounds the "M" designated Marlin, with a mold and / or Seating Chamber that were cut for a flat point bullet.
You found a nice set, having the full set and box is pretty rare.
The "M" is for Military. This was the original name of the 38 Special.

I've got to give my animals' vet much credit. He does final visits at your home and at no charge for regular patients, if early morning or evening can work as he goes to or from his hospital.

Green Frog: You know more about the Ideal tools than I, so correct if needed - I think that the #6 was all of the rifle tools with mold. The S.R rounds from Winchester were available for several of...
Maybe, that all are pre-GC designs makes this nearly moot. Standard weights and designs limited by plain base velocities being so close in performance to the SR loads.

Tip pressure and very modest torque on that middle screw.
But how were the groups?
Finding a good load is not the same as finding one that shoots to the same POI as another; and finding both in one is, yet, another challenge.
Some rifles are a friend...
You can size that much, for your .329 205 grain, by filling the lube grooves first then using a push through sizing die. The lube protects the grooves and lubricates the bullet and die.

I was serching for thrift store nearby to hunt for one of these Hot Pots; but found a better than decent deal, not nearly as good as Veeman"s good wife found, on Evilbay. So I ordered it.

One of those Hot Pots would let me cast more often and be good for special alloys. A half of a day to setup with and empty a big pot is neither as easy to find the time for nor do as an hour with...
Nice work.
That electric ladle has my interest and clearly you cast some nice big bullets with it.

Very nice rifle.
Great old cartridge.

Thank you! I'm pretty damned fond of that old Mal.

Too bad about your 30-30's dyspepsia with short ammo, since it loads down so well. They'll taste the same from the others, though.

Someone at Winchester made an error for the ages in not basing it on the 351, instead of the 32WSL.
Maybe the handiest little rifle, ever, was forever handicapped by not quite enough powder and...
Rub it in, why don't you.
As a starving student, I had the chance to buy a full set of 600s, at a great price, less the 308 that the old boy meant to keep. I was so starving, though, that I had to...

Splendid rifle. Amazing skills.
How does it shoot? Has it taken that moose?
Being the boolits forum, maybe, it's not too greedy to ask for mold pictures, too.
Wow.

IIRC the JR and RS were/are the same presses, that simply came in different boxes. The JR was in a little box alone. The RS was in a big box with a very good beginner's kit (what with I started),...
The same bullet in the same action but in 350RM has been feeding for me. Shorter cast pistol bullets fed poorly, but this 200 and up seem fine.
Maybe, seating yours as long as practical would help.
