good day all:
well,my progression with firearms has brought me to your site,and hopefully you very wise people here can help me.
i,ve been reloading for rifle and pistol for quite sometime now,and have progressed to making my own boolits.
i have a 1909 winchester m94,.30-30,26"oct,takedown in very good condition with a pristine bore.
i also have a rem 1912 rem m14 .30 rem,with a watson rear tang sight and a marbles #6 goldbead front,with a very good bore.
i would like to cast boolits for both of these guns just for the fun of it.
i have puchased all the usual stuff,ie brass,primers ect..
yesterday,i picked up some drg 165gr .308 cast real cheap.
i still have to purchase some molds and a melting pot.
so i thought i'd get started with the drg's.
first off,these boolits have no gaschecks or a place to install them,so,what do i do there?
i would like to load these for just plinking and such around the homestead and of course for experimentation.
what powder would be good to start with?
for the .30 rem i only have a 2 die set,do i really need to expand the case mouth to seat these boolits or will the case mouth strip off to much lead when seat/crimping.
can anyone give me info on these drg boolits.
thanks Z
