I love army rifles but have not shot them much in a long time.
Now I'm retired and have the time. With cast boolits I can afford to shoot them. Yahoo!
Not so fast........it takes a long time to load plentiful, cheap milsurp ammo on the single stage press. I had forgot about this. (Or surpressed the memory.)
So, I'm gonna get another tool head and powder measure and start reloading at least the 1903 A3 ammo on the Dillon.
Insert a case, hold a bullet, pump the handle, flip the shell holder and hear the beautiful sound as a loaded round lands in the tray. It happens faster than you can say it.
Liquid Alox makes lubing the boolits fast and putting on the gas check and sizing isn't that bad. The casting part is both fun and easy and it goes pretty fast too. When the .30 six-banger comes in the casting will be a lot faster and I won't have to fumble with gas checks anymore.
Life is good.
