Hi
I am thinking about trying to cast some bullets for a Enfield No1 Mk3 that I have. I have never cast before and was wondering if someone may be able to help me out. I just want to do some target shooting at an affordable rate.
Having read some other posts, I think I have an idea of what I need to do. Please let me know if this sounds O.K. and if you have any advice
1) I need to slug the bore? I don't know how to slug a bore. Can I get a gunsmith to do this for me and measure the slug. They would have the proper caliper.
2) once I know the size, I would purchase a lee mold for .303. I have read that the lee mold will most likely be under sized but it is affordable and I think I read that it can be "resized" to make a bigger bullet. Is this true and if yes, How do I modify the lee mold
3) I would purchase a lee loader for .303. Is it O.K. to use a lee loader kit to load cast bullets.
I know these questions might sound a little silly but I am just getting started on casting my own ammo, please be gentle.
