Well, the weather is not cooperating today. So, rather than shooting, I have a couple of hundred rounds of 30-06 brass sized, primed, and ready to load, as well as another 100 rounds of .41 Mag, with 50 loaded up with some experimental loads for the Blackhawk. Half of the brass is old military, so primer pockets had to be reamed. Primed up a few more .35 Rem cases as well for that ongoing experiment. Working on lead acquisition this week.
Things are moving forward.
Re: Appeal to authority. Hear-say testimony. There are reasons neither are accepted.

I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.
How to find and fix sizing die eccentricity problems.
Do you trust your casting thermometer?
A few musings.
HangFireW9,
Inasmuch as we aren't talking court proceedings, your post is (pardon me for being plainspoken): needless.
(I feel precisely the same about people who demand links from "the Worldwideweird" before they accept anything as fact. - In that at least 1/2 of what is on-line is BILGE, I simply laugh at those sort of folks.)

Tex,
You are free to believe what you want.

There are no P-17 Enfield's, they are M-17 Enfield's. P-14 Enfield's are .303's.
HangFireW8,
YES, I believed LTC Milligan, as I knew him well for over 2 decades. - Ed was NOT a liar.
(I suggest you believe him too.)
yours, tex
I spent a much needed restful day reading late 40's American Rifleman magazines on a relatives patio in the San Bernadino Mountains. I thought I'd share a couple of pics of M17 sporters I found.

I have worked for a barrel maker.It is not possible to ream out and rerifle a .30-06 barrel to .303 British.In any case the barrel would have to be removed from the receiver to make an attempt.Our barrel machines dated from WW2.
