CS: Target-Reloading Kit Questions
From: "Alex Hamilton", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andrew, 0.6 MOA from a .375 HH Magnum loaded with lead bullets! Please come and shoot benchrest and give us all a lesson. Cheers VinceB _ I can't do .6 moa, but with the rifle unsupported (standard TR hold) I can group into 2 moa at 200 yds with lead bullets in 308Win. However, if Andrew is going to give a demonstration and (hopefully) a lecture, may I be told when and where is this event to take place.

CS: Target-Reloading Kit Questions
From: "VinceB", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am going down to visit the new Kynock (Kynamco?) at Mildenhall on saturday and will be taking 80 rounds of .375 HH to play with. This will be loaded with a Lee collet resizing die and Forster bench rest seater on my forster Co-Ax press with bullets cast from an NEI mould lubed and sized in an RCBS lubresizer. Powder is thrown from an RCBS measure. Depending on load and how the nut behind the trigger is feeling, I get accuracy of between .6 and 1.8 moa.

From: Jeremy Peter Howells, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't start with an automatic press like the Dillon, just too much going on to supervise everything if your not used to reloading. Basic kit from one of the leading manufacturers is probably a good start and with a small/medium O-ring press it can be mounted on a board that clamps to a substantial table or fitted to something like a Black and Decker Workmate. Your kit should include :- A good reloading manual (or even more than one) Press Dies and shellholders in each calibre priming tool* primer pocket cleaning tools Shooters scales/Powder scales Powder thrower* Mirometer or vernier calipers** Case trimming tools*** Loading blocks Case lubricating kit*** * not essential as most presses come with a basic priming tool, but it helps if you inspect each primer. ** always good practice to check the widths and lengths of your cartridges, just in case *** not essential for the pistol calibres but important for the rifle ones. Best to read a couple of the good reloading manuals or articles in magazines. Even better get an experienced reloader to show you.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And also views on fully automated presses/loading systems eg Dillon RL 550B vs competitors equipment Or what to mix match! I'm thinking calibers - .223/ .308/ .45-70(BP Nitro) .45LC .454 Casull EW Can't comment on the automatic presses as I've never been one to use huge ammounts of ammo. The best single stage press in the World however is the Corbin Series 2, expensive as single stages go but the best dosen't come cheap. Jonathan Laws -- I didn't realise Dillon made an automatic press! I think the word they use is "progressive", i.e. you get more with your pull of the lever. Progressive presses were invented because of the demand from practical pistol shooters, I wonder whether anyone really needs one in this country anymore, though they do make a progressive shotshell press as well. There are a lot of fun though if you get all the widgets, I had great fun playing around with one at the SHOT show a couple of years ago :) Steve.

From: andrew, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've not dealt with reloading solutions myself but i know people who have and they are very happy with them. Not only do they appear to actually have the stock they advertise available but delivery is very prompt. For portable kit using standard dies you cannot beat the Lee hand press. I know several shooters who use them and none have any complaints. For the bottle neck cartridges buy the collet die set: easy to use, no bother with lube and they load superb ammo. The Lee "perfect" powder measure is also worth looking at to save the hassle of trying to use a scale on range. They are cheap, accurate, robust and have a well graduated charge bar. The Lee turret press is a superb piece of kit, particularly for the price. I have a Lee turret and a Forster Co-Ax press and cannot detect any difference in the quality of ammo loaded on them. I also use a Lee 1000 progressive and it loads ammo far more accurate than I am. I have no problem getting consistent 2 moa from my M94 with ammo loaded on the progressive. So far I have not found a single item of Lee kit that has not performed as well, or in most cases better, than the more expensive competition. And it's all covered by a simple, no quibble, if you are not satisfied in any way, money back guarantee. Cannot tell you if that is worth anything or not as I don't know anyone who has been dissatisfied enough to make a claim against it.

From: "Earl W", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Came across a web page that may be of use to reloaders in the UK - they seem to be mail order They have a catalogue that can be requested. Anyone have any experience with them? Also does anyone have any suggestions on what kit to buy as a basic portable (not needing a dedicated work bench) reloading kit. And also views on fully automated presses/loading systems eg Dillon RL 550B vs competitors equipment Or what to mix match!
