    310 Tools

    I started reloading with the 310 and a set of scales and powder funnel for a .243 40 some years ago. It was slow so it sits on the shelf now doing nothing. I did buy adapters to use it in a press.

    Burris makes one. Fits in rear sight slot and clamps on the barrel. Had one on a MK1 and it didn't move. Any mount will leave marks on the receiver.

    I use the same bullet in my Sig. Size them to .356 or .357. Both shoot good. If I shoot them fast I'll get a small amount of leading. That's with wheel weights.
